When the anti-corruption court acquitted Deepak Kamani and his brother, Rashmi, from the Anglo-Leasing fraud case in January this year, it brought to an end another high profile case involving tycoons and top civil servants.

After running for more than two decades in court, the Sh7.05 billion fraud case was dropped as have many other cases involving Asian tycoons for lack of evidence and witnesses becoming reluctant.

The Kamani brothers were charged together with former permanent secretaries Joseph Onyonka, Dave Mwangi, Joseph Magari and the late David Mwiraria who served as the Minister for Finance in former President Mwai Kibaki’s government.
