If court allows Itumbi to prosecure the case - what happens to Matiangi. Will he appear in court to plead charges?

Itumbi has cleverly cited Matiangi as private citizen. No mention of office. DPP and EACC are offices cited.

As an individual the records will remain even after you leave office for decades. The past cases where the office holder is cited are where they have trashed court orders with abandon.

He is lost.

I like such trial and errors. True meaning of access to justice given most lawyers won't touch such hot potatoes. He can go back,  tie the bolts and or come back to court or well be cut a cheque. Omtata ceased from being termed as vexatious to now a polished public defender.

I desire to go to hell and not to heaven. In the former place I shall enjoy the company of popes, kings, and princes, while in the latter are only beggars, monks, and apostles. ~ Niccolo Machiavelli on his deathbed, June 1527
