Kapseret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi has been acquitted by court over charges of forging academic certificates.
Anti-corruption Court Magistrate Felix Kombo ruled that the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) failed to prove allegations against the legislator.
The magistrate said nine counts brought against Sudi were not supported by any evidence that could enable the court make a decision.
