Kwanini JMK asimpongeze mama kwa kazi nzuri kama maroba ya sandarusi yaliyo jaa mpunga yaliyotolewa bank naniliu usiku mwingi hayajatajwa yalienda kwa nani na huku waliotuhumiwa ktk mchakato huo wanafutiwa mashitaka?

Uzuri ni kwamba hicho kifungu kilichomfutia mashitaka mtuhumiwa kinatoa nafasi ya kushitakiwa tena mtu huyo huyo aliyefutiwa mashitaka.

Soma hapo kwenye wino uliokolezwa:

91.-(1) In any criminal case and at any stage thereof before verdict or judgment, as the case may be, the Director of Public Prosecutions may enter a nolle prosequi, either by stating in court or by informing the court concerned in writing on behalf of the Republic that the proceedings shall not continue; and thereupon the accused shall at once be discharged in respect of the charge for which the nolle prosequi is entered, and if he has been committed to prison shall be released, or if on bail his recognisances shall be discharged; but such discharge of an accused person shall not operate as a bar to any subsequent proceedings against him on account of the same facts.
