C&P: Central Bank of Kenya Governor Njuguna Ndung'u can now be arrested and prosecuted over the alleged irregular awarding of a Sh1.2 billion security management system tender.
Justice George Odunga of the High Court dismissed the governor's application seeking to stop the Director of Public Prosecutions, Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Inspector General of Police from arresting and prosecuting him over the tender award to Horsebridge Networks Systems (EA) Limited.
Mr Ndung'u had filed the application through lawyer Donald Kipkorir and obtained orders barring his arrest and prosecution early this year but following dismissal of the application, DPP Keriako Tobiko can proceed with the intended prosecution.
Justice Odunga, however, restrained IG David Kimaiyo, Tobiko and EACC from arresting the governor for 14 days after his lawyer applied to have the judgment stayed to enable his client file an appeal.
