BLOW TO CHINESE BUSINESSWOMAN AS COURT REJECTS DPP’S BID TO WITHDRAW CORRUPTION CHARGED AGAINST HER.

A Nairobi Court has declined an application for withdrawal of charges against a Chinese businesswoman who has been charged alongside her husband in a multibillion scandal.

Anti-corruption court magistrate Kagure Nyutu dismissed the application by the Director of Public Prosecution Noordin Haji, seeking to drop charges against Zhang Jing saying there was no new material that informed Haji’s decision to withdraw the charges against her.
