Nairobi, Nov. 12 -- The High Court has dismissed a petition by four lobbies seeking to lift the immunity of two prosecutors involved in the Sh63 billion Arror and Kimwarer dams scandal, ruling that there was no evidence they acted unlawfully, negligently or in bad faith.

Justice Chacha Mwita, now a Court of Appeal judge, said Transparency International, Katiba Institute, Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) and Africa Centre for Open Governance (Africog) had failed to demonstrate that Geoffrey Obiri and Oliver Mureithi deliberately derailed the prosecution or abused their powers.
