Nicholas Opiyo in court on Monday
The Anti-Corruption court has tasked the directorate of public prosecution (DPP) to expedite investigations in the case where human rights lawyer Nicholas Opiyo is accused of money laundering.
State attorney, Steven Ariong on Monday informed court that investigations were incomplete and needed more time to finalise them. Opiyo’s lawyer David Mpanga asked court to direct the DPP to expedite the investigations to enable his client to regain his freedom.
Mpanga also told the court that some of the current bail conditions are not favourable to Opiyo especially on the condition of reporting to court registrar twice in a month.
