Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Ramadhani Kingai has declined to testify in court in the treason case facing CHADEMA Chairman Tundu Lissu.

Following the development, Lissu asked the court to allow the defence to close its case, saying he could not force the witnesses to testify. He also asked the court to set a specific date for hearing the final submissions from both sides.

The prosecution supported the request, while asking the court to clarify whether the final submissions would be made orally or in writing.
