Why KDF was blocked from Supreme Court appeal over Sh25m award

Why KDF was blocked from Supreme Court appeal over Sh25m award

The case stems from disciplinary proceedings taken against a former military employee.

The Kenya Defence Forces has suffered another setback in its attempt to challenge a Sh25 million compensation award to a former soldier at the Supreme Court, after the Court of Appeal rejected its request to pursue a further appeal.

The case stems from disciplinary proceedings taken against Moses Etyang during his employment in the military. The dispute later moved to court, where the legality of the disciplinary process and the treatment he received became central issues.

Petitioners say site hosts a British-era detention facility where Mau Mau fighters were executed.

The institution also seeks Sh50.7 billion to finance its operations, reduce case backlogs and upgrade court technology.

The network is suspected to be operating across several towns.

They want the court to compel the government to investigate attacks.

Among those cleared is an MoH official who was on the same flight as a confirmed Ebola patient.

Lobby says Mwaipaya is a known critic of the Tanzanian government.
