Former Cabinet minister Amos Kimunya and a company to which he is accused of fraudulently transferring a 25-acre piece of land Wednesday suffered a blow when the High Court ruled that the criminal trial against him should proceed.
Justice Weldon Korir declined for the second time to stop Mr Kimunya’s prosecution.
Mr Kimunya first moved to court a year ago after filing two suits seeking to stop the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) from proceeding with the criminal trial against him.
Even though Mr Kimunya had argued that the offences which he is alleged to have committed are believed to have been done in 2005, he feared that charges against him in 2014 were malicious and discriminatory since there was a pending civil case in Nakuru on the land in question with Midlands Limited.
