Ex-NHIF CEO Kerich acquitted in Sh116m corruption case

Former NHIF Chief Executive Richard Kerich and four others have been freed in a Sh116.9 million graft case due to lack of evidence.

In a judgement delivered on Friday, Milimani Anti-Corruption Magistrate Eunice Nyutu said the prosecution did not prove the charges levelled against the former officials.

“I find that the prosecution has failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt against the accused persons on all the counts that they have been charged with and I acquit them forthwith,” Nyutu ruled.
