The daughter of President William Ruto, Charlene Rutohas officially dismissed a criminal case against author Webster Ochora Elijah.

This followed a reconciliation agreement between the two involving exemptions and mandatory conditions.

The move was confirmed before the senior judge of the mountains Robinson Ondieki on Monday, September 22, and marked the end of several months of the legal process.

Ochora was arrested earlier this year by officials of the Criminal Investigation Department (DCI) after allegedly pretending to be Charlene for writing and distributing a book without her consent.

Investigators said the book used its name and image, indicating that he was the author.

The 25 -year -old was released on a Ksh100,000 bail or a cash bond Ksh50,000, the court noting that he was not at risk of escaping.

Terms of removal of the Ochora case

A letter submitted to the court confirmed that the defendant had apologized, which Charlene agreed, thus achieving a peaceful solution.

The agreement was submitted under section 176 of the Criminal Procedure Act and section 159 (2) (c) of the Constitution, which all encourage alternative methods of conflict resolution.

As part of that agreement:

Ochora has been banned from publishing, distributing or spreading his book Beyond The Name: Charlene Ruto And the youth, or other scriptures that involve Charlene directly or directly.

He has also been prevented from transferring the rights to the book for the purpose of production, printing or reform.

The agreement states:

“The defendant will not be allowed to publish, distribute, propagate or cause to be published in any way the book or any material that refers to or claims to narrate the first soul related events related to this case.”

If the terms are violated, Charlene will be able to take civilian allegations, while the removal of the criminal case should not be protected.

The agreement officially protects Charlene’s name and image against unauthorized use in relation to the book.

Why will the Ochora case be mentioned again?

The case, registered as MCCR No. 314 of 2025, was marked for removal after reconciliation.

However, Judge Ondieki planned to be named on the case on October 6, 2025, for further court instructions.

The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), represented by state prosecutor Esther Mutisya, told the court that his office had received a request for reconciliation from Ochora’s defense attorney Evans Ondieki and needed more time to get directions.

The judge, citing the constitutional principle of promoting peaceful solutions, accepted the request.

Earlier in July, Charlene failed to come to court, which prompted O Children to request the release on the basis of the lack of prosecution.
