DP Gachagua is exonerated in the Sh7.3 billion fraud case.

However, the court has warned the accused that if investigators find evidence, they may be arrested again on the same charges in the future. Gachagua's passport and the Sh12 million he had deposited in court in order to be released from police custody.
The court recommends that a law be enacted to create the office of a pre-trial judge who will check to see if there is enough evidence before any accused person is arraigned in court.
