Karua Calls for DPP Noordin Haji’s Resignation, Says He is Morally Unfit to Hold Office
Nark-Kenya party leader Martha Karua has called for the resignation of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji, saying he is morally unfit to hold public office.
Karua cited Haji’s recent remarks on his working relationship with former Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) George Kinoti, who resigned on September 27th.
Haji claims Kinoti misled his office to believe that there was concrete evidence in the Sh7.3 billion graft case against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, adding that the DCI director pushed him to prosecute Gachagua through the media.
“Over time, we discovered that the DCI was not serious in availing concrete evidence for cases. That is why we had a push-and-pull between the two offices. We could not proceed with the cases that didn’t meet our threshold. They lacked sufficient evidence to be presented in court,” Haji told KTN News in an interview.
On Monday, Karua said the remarks by Haji prove that he is morally unfit to hold the office and should step down or be fired.
“Any public officer especially a senior who says I was forced to do, or say reveals themselves to be morally unfit to hold office and should resign or be fired,” Karua said on Tuesday.
“Swearing a false affidavit is a crime and DPP Haji ought to be taking steps against any DCI officer and any witness who confessed to have perjured themselves, otherwise we are being treated to a charade orchestrated to sanitize the politically correct.”
She also faulted Haji for dropping graft cases against some leaders allied to President Ruto, saying the office of the DPP should give room to the courts to determine cases.
“The reason we have public trials is to allow the court of public opinion to judge for themselves if the process is fair and if the evidence warrants whatever action the court takes. Why can’t DPP Haji let the courts of law and the court of public opinion make a determination upon tendering the evidence publicly in all these high-profile matters?” she posed.
“Let every person including DPP Haji bear responsibility for their actions present and previous as our laws demand.”

Spot on!!
Why not ask for Kinoti's prosecution under which the government she used to support?
You don’t get it! They have hatched a plan to use former DCI kinoti coz he’s now powerless! This is an attempt to fool us all the the matters for the current powers in government must be dropped!
If the had dirt on Kinotti, why is it that they haven’t filed a case against him yet? Who is fooling who?
I support Karua 100%.
Wangari,who resigned from Kibaki’s government on flimsy reasons(that Kibaki has appointed GBM Kariuki to be appeal court judge) cannot criticize or advice anybody including her children?She peed and pooped on her chance to transform judiciary after being controlled by her sexual desires.
What’s another name for a female mad dog?

It’s also time to shutdown DCI.
DCI officers fabricate evidence and lie under oath.
Do you have any proof he fabricated? Only fools believe in everything they are being told!!
This stupid kid Haji is a crazy Alshabab and wants Kenya to go the Somalia way. He should move back to the jungles of Mogadishu to call shots with his Alshabab namesakes!
