The court has agreed to an application by the DPP to have the Sh1.1 billion graft charges levelled against former NHIF boss Geoffrey Mwangi dropped.
Trial magistrate Victor Wakumile said the ODPP had given sufficient grounds to have Mwangi discharged.
At the same time he gave the prosecution 15 days to review the entire file and inform the court on the way forward.
Mwangi was in 2018 charged alongside former CEO Simon Kirgotty, NHIF audit committee members Mudzo Nzili, Yussuf Ibrahim, Elly Nyaim, Danson Muchemi and his company Webtribe with 13 others.
But the DPP withdrew the charges against Muchemi, Webtribe and Robert Muriithi. He turned Muchemi into a state witness.
The DPP's reason was that there was no wrongdoing on the part of Webtribe after reviewing the evidence.
Mwangi had in 2022 made an attempt to have his graft case terminated following the withdrawal of the charges against Webtribe, a company he had been accused of conferring a benefit.
Mwangi had argued before Justice Esther Maina that withdrawing the charges against the company he is alleged to have conferred a benefit of Sh253million should have prompted the DPP to terminate the case against him.
But Maina dismissed his application saying DPP had demonstrated decision to charge was based on sufficient evidence.
