The High Court in Nakuru has found the managing director of Kenya Railways (KR) in contempt for failing to pay Sh45 million in compensation.
Justice Anthony Ombwayo ruled that Philip Mainga was in contempt for failing to compensate Monica Macharia following the illegal demolition of her property in 2020.
Ombwayo ordered Mainga to appear in court to explain why he should not be jailed for disobeying a court order.
The businesswoman sued Kenya Railways Corporation on October 11, 2020, seeking Sh132 million in compensation after her business premises were demolished.
