Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has said cases of those people who were falsely accused should be dropped.
He said this in reference to his Sh7.5 billion graft case that was withdrawn by the DPP for lack of evidence.
Speaking during a thanksgiving service at ASK Show Ground in Baringo, he thanked the DPP for dropping his graft case but urged him to consider all those who were falsely accused.
"Withdrawing my case is not enough, more cases should be dropped for all those who were accused falsely because it is a big mistake to fault someone based on their political affiliation," he said.
Gachagua added that he was implicated in the graft case because he was supporting President William Ruto.
Magistrate Victor Wakumile said the evidence presented should be able to prove a case under reasonable doubt.
In allowing the DPP application, Wakumile said one can’t prefer charges on the anticipation of getting evidence.
He faulted the investigative bodies for presenting people in court while they are still fishing for evidence.
“The decision to charge must be exercised partially and independently,” he said.
“Never should a judicial system be used as a doormat. There is a need to respect institutions.”
The court said the Sh12 million bail Gachagua deposited in court as a condition for his release when he was charged should be returned to him.
