Court suspends trial of 7 GDC ex-bosses in Sh1.7bn tender case

What you need to know:

  • They are Mr Godwin Mwagae Mwawongo, Mr Peter Ayodo Omenda and tender committee members Mr Abraham Kipchirchir Saat, Mr Michael Maingi Mbevi, Mr Nicholas Weke, Mr Caleb Mbayi and Mr Bruno Linyiru.
  • The top court's judges ruled that they demonstrated an arguable case which would be rendered nugatory if the reprieve orders were not granted as requested.

Seven former Geothermal Development Company (GDC) managers will wait longer to know whether their criminal trials over irregularities in the award of a Sh1.7 billion tender will be permanently quashed or proceed.

On Tuesday, Supreme Court judges David Maraga, Philomena Mwilu, Mohamed Ibrahim, Smokin Wanjala and Isaac Lenaola suspended a decision that allowed the prosecution to go on before the Anti-Corruption Court in a row that dates back to about eight years ago.
