Riruta-Ngong railway case: Treasury PS Kiptoo, AG Oduor and other senior officials risk court sanctions
Senator Okiya Omtatah and SC Charles Kanjama have filed a contempt application against the Treasury PS, Attorney General, and other top officials for continuing work on the Sh11 billion Riruta-Ngong railway despite a January 20 court stay.
Treasury PS Chris Kiptoo and several senior government officials risk being punished for contempt of court for disobeying a directive stopping the construction of the Riruta-Ngong meter gauge railway project.
In an urgent application, Busia senator Okiya Omtatah and Senior Counsel Charles Kanjama want Dr Kiptoo, Attorney General Dorcas Oduor, Transport PS Mohamed Daghar, Secretary to the Cabinet Mercy Wanjau, Kenya Railways managing director Philip Mainga and Mr Samuel Njoroge (clerk of the National Assembly) cited for contempt of court.
