A Kenyan court on Thursday allowed a request by public prosecutors to withdraw a 7.4 billion shillings ($60 million) corruption case against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, citing insufficient evidence.

Gachagua and several and his co-accused were charged with corruption in July last year. He has denied any wrongdoing.

"The accused persons is hereby warned and informed they maybe re-arrested in future should investigators find evidence on similar charges," he added. Under new President Ruto’s government, prosecutors have withdrawn several cases against some of his allies on the same grounds.
