A Bungoma court on Thursday declined to grant orders sought by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to stop the auction of Matili Technical Training Institute, dealing a blow to thousands of students at the institution.
Bungoma High Court Judge, Lady Justice Rose Ougo, refused to issue the orders despite the EACC's assertion that the planned auction was fraudulent.
The EACC had informed the court that its investigations revealed the contractor had no valid claim against the school, arguing that the alleged debt was non-existent.
In court documents filed under a certificate of urgency, the EACC detailed how the company allegedly devised a deceptive scheme to falsely claim funds that had already been paid by the institution.
