2016 Fraud and Anti-Corruption Directorate heads case

Court: AG’s approval necessary for lawyer’s engagement

This is while they are acting in their capacity as police officers.

A three-man Supreme Court bench handed down its decision today after lawyers representing the Prime Minster, the state, and Police Commissioner raised an objection on whether Matthew Damaru and Timothy Gitua are able to engage lawyers to act for them in the case without the approval of the Attorney General.

This is case SCA 7/2016. It is an appeal that originates from OS JR 485 of 2014, the judicial review into the PM’s arrest warrant issue.
