Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>The Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji has said he doesn’t regret working with former DCI boss George Kinoti.<\/p>\n

He said the turf war between his office and that of the DCI was a learning curve for him.<\/p>\n

“I don’t regret working with the former DCI boss because now we have the decision to charge, guidelines that are appreciated by everyone, even the President who respects independent institutions,” Haji said.<\/p>\n

He spoke during an interview with a local media station on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

He highlighted that the ODPP stood firm and strong as an independent institution despite threats.<\/p>\n

“My house was broken into last months towards elections and I didn’t say much because I was coerced and pushed to feel like I was a second citizen because people wanted to bend the constitution,” Haji added.<\/p>\n

Haji and Kinoti had been engaged in a supremacy battle that resulted in court delays and bungled cases.<\/p>\n

In April 2020, the ‘war’ caused embarrassment in court after former KPA Managing Director Daniel Manduku was arrested and presented to court but the ODPP refused to charge him.<\/p>\n

The incident led to a rare public interview where Kinoti decried that his officers had been frustrated and humiliated in the war against graft.<\/p>\n

Early this year, Haji urged security agencies to stick to their legal mandates as enshrined in the constitution while discharging duties.<\/p>\n

This came in the wake of rivalry pitting DPP Noordin Haji and DCI boss George Kinoti.<\/p>\n

In an apparent reference to the ongoing rivalry, the ODPP cited a judgement of a case to demonstrate that the law is clear on the role of the two agencies.<\/p>\n

Kinoti moved to court with the DCI now demanding for probing and prosecution of Haji for alleged perjury and fraud during consultative meetings to formulate guidelines on terrorism.<\/p>\n
