The High Court on Saturday, April 26, directed Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah to serve former President Uhuru Kenyatta and senior government officials with a petition seeking their accountability over the country's debt.
The directive followed a suit filed by the lawmaker and 8 others, which sought legal accountability from the former Head of State and top officials, including Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi, over the massive debts accumulated.
In the court notice, Justice Bahati Mwamuye ordered the Busia Senator to serve all the respondents and interested parties with the petition by May 2, this year.
Justice Mwamuye also ordered the respondents and interested parties to provide their respective responses by May 23. "The timelines shall strictly be applied and enforced," Mwamuye stated.
