By VINCENT AGOYAMore by this AuthorA fresh objection was raised on Monday against the prosecution of former Nairobi mayor George Aladwa. Mr Aladwa’s lawyer also said that the National Police Service has no constitutional mandate to commence criminal prosecution as this power is solely vested in the DPP and whose authority was not reflected in the charge sheet. “The charges in court violate the provisions of the 2010 Constitution which has clear provisions on prosecution,” the lawyer said. However, prosecutor Duncan Ondimu while objecting to the objection raised asked the court to dismiss the assertions saying it was designed to delay the trial. Mr Aladwa is charged with incitement to violence arising from remarks he allegedly made at a CORD rally in Kibera on October 8, last year.
