Olago Aluoch on the acquittal of Edward Kirui, who had been charged with murder arising out of the post-election violence. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Edward Kirui was arraigned in court, before Justice Muga Apondi, on 8th February, 2008, and charged with the offence of murder in two counts, contrary to Section 203 as read with Section 204 of the Penal Code. The trial commenced before Justice Mutungi, as he then was, on 9th April, 2008. Evidence was recorded from 19 witnesses before he retired from the Bench. With the consent of the defence, and particularly the accused, the trial continued before Justice Fred Ochieng, who heard the remaining three prosecution witnesses and the two defence witnesses. The testimony of the witnesses was summarised in extenso in his Lordshipâs Judgement, dated 25th June, 2010, which I attach to this Ministerial Statement."
