A gold scandal case in which the High Court ordered the bank accounts of Judiciary Registrar Anne Amadi frozen returns for mention today.
Justice David Majanja last week certified the matter urgent and froze Amadi's bank accounts and those of a law firm registered in her name, which is at the centre of a gold scandal case in which a British citizen claims to have been defrauded of more than Sh100 million in US dollars in 2021.
Those sued are Amadi and her son Brian Ochieng, two other Kenyans and a Liberian citizen for defrauding Bruton Gold Trading LLC, a gold trading firm registered in Dubai.
Court documents show the offence was committed between September 22 and October 21, 2021.
The British National Demetrios Bradshaw says in his affidavits that the money was meant for the purchase of 1,500 kilogrammes of gold bars, but the precious metal was never delivered to the buyer in Dubai.
The other defendants in the case are Andrew Njenga Kiarie, Kikanae Topoti, Daniel Ndegwa Kangara alias Daniel Muriithi and Edward Taylor alias Mboronda Seyenkulo Sakor, a Liberian passport holder.
Justice Majanja is expected to issue further directions in the matter today.
At the same time, the hearing of Sh80 million corruption case against former Samburu Governor Moses Lenolkulal proceeds today with the defence team expected to cross-examine the investigating officer.
The investigating officer Joel Nyongesa has already admitted that five chief officers charged alongside Lenolkulal were not employees of the county government at the time investigations into the Sh86 million graft case commenced.
Nyongesa said the probe period was between 2013 to 2019.
He admitted to the court that by the time the five were hired the procurement process was already in place.
