An anti-corruption court in Milimani has acquitted former Treasury PS Joseph Magari, Dave Mwangi and David Onyonka and businessmen Deepak and Rashmi Kamani of conspiring to defraud the government of Sh3.5 billion in the Anglo Leasing case.

Chief Magistrate Martha Mutuku said the prosecution had failed to prove its case against all the accused.

"They have no case to answer. They have been discharged," the magistrate said.

The Kamanis had been charged along with former Finance Minister David Mwiraria, who died during the trial.
