Former Minister Chris Obure declared not guilty

Former Permanent Secretaries of Transport and Communication Sammy Kyungu and Finance Secretary Samuel Bundotich were also acquitted in the case in which they were involved.

The three were accused of authorizing the use of Sh928 million in a postal company security project.

The prosecution did not produce enough evidence to condemn them, according to Trial Magistrate Ann Mwangi.

According to her, the trio did not personally profit from the cash, as evidenced by their defense attorneys.

She added that the offender was acquitted due to a lack of evidence.

Outside of court, Obure praised the trial court for carefully weighing the facts presented by the prosecution and defense attorneys and reaching a reasonable judgment.

He said that the matter lost him the Kisii governorship in 2017, but that now that the truth has been exposed, he is free to go about his business.

The former foreign minister shared joyful pictures of herself at an event hosted by the Mineral Resources mining services company on Instagram. According to reports, Ms. Bishop, 65, and her longtime lover David Panton, 61, broke up over dinner on July 1 at a restaurant in Sydney’s central business area. She was all smiles and seemed carefree in the photos shared on Monday night after speaking at a Mineral Resources professional development session. She captioned the photographs, saying, “Addressing employee grads at Mineral Resources’ professional development program, sharing my career story, the sliding-door moments plus a few tips!” Since late June, when she shared images of herself and Mr. Panton dining with Prince Charles in London, Ms. Bishop had not posted anything on Instagram.

Since her breakup four nights prior, Ms. Bishop had not been seen in public until that moment. She made her first public appearance with Mr. Panton in 2014. Since then, the two have been seen together at a variety of occasions, including Karl Stefanovic and Jasmine Yarbrough’s wedding in 2018.
