DPP Noordin Haji has ordered the release of blogger Cyprian Nyakundi from Muthaiga police station.
Nyakundi was first arrested on April 28 following allegations that he abused Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko on social media.
He was freed and re-arrested on May 14.
Haji directed the investigators to present his file in court with the aim of withdrawing and marking the case as closed.
"No criminal charges should be registered against the above named individual pursuant to the miscellaneous application without my express approval, " Haji said in a letter.
