The High Court has summoned Attorney General Dorcas Oduor and Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo to appear before it in a case where a Kenyan was awarded Ksh1.5 million in compensation.
In a ruling delivered by Justice John Chigiti, the two officials were found in contempt of court for failing to honour a judgment originating from the High Court on April 26, 2024, directing Robert Ndichu to be awarded the compensation after a previous disregard of the ruling.
According to court documents, Ndichu told the court that in the year 2009, he sued the Attorney General and successfully obtained a judgment and a decree against the respondent on September 28, 2012, for Ksh 1,595,605. However, 13 years later, the government had yet to honour the compensation despite him following up with his advocates for the reward of the same. This prompted him to move the High Court praying for the judicial review orders, compelling the Attorney General and Interior PS to satisfy the said decree.
