Wednesday August 8, 2012 - Bad omens seem to have descended on suspended Deputy Chief Justice Nancy Baraza, after Director of Public Prosecution Keriako Tobiko said he will open criminal charges against the DCJ.

Speaking to journalist on Tuesday, Tobiko said he was finalising a review of the evidence that could see Ms Baraza face criminal charges following the incident at Nairobi’s Village Market Mall where the DCJ threatened a security guard Rebecca Kerubo, with a gun.

“I am considering the prosecution of the Deputy Chief Justice. She must face the law if the evidence presented to my office meets the legal threshold of criminal nature,” Tobiko said.

Tobiko said his office is working round the clock to review the evidence and ensure justice has prevailed in the case.

“The material supplied by the tribunal and the police file forwarded to me earlier by the police are being worked on currently by a team in my office,” he said.

Tobiko urged Kenyans to maintain calm as he will ensure justice prevail on both sides.
