On August 8, 2019, Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji made a significant move in the fight against corruption in Kenya.
He ordered the arrest of Humphrey Kariuki, the CEO of Africa Spirits Limited, also known as WOW Beverages Limited, on allegations of forgery and tax evasion of over Sh41 billion.
The move marks a shift in focus for the DPP, who has previously targeted high-profile individuals and organizations.
