So far, three applications have been filed in court in relation to the gold saga.
-
The first application was filed by the Dubai-based firm accusing Amadi, her son and five others of fraudulent commercial activities.
The High Court will today hear an application in which Judiciary Chief Registrar Anne Amadi is seeking to have her accounts unfrozen in the Sh130 million gold scam case.
Last week, the court directed the firm to respond to Amadi's affidavit in two days before her application to unfreeze her accounts is heard today.
Amadi on Tuesday last week asked the court to unfreeze her accounts saying she had no links with the firm of Amadi and Associates Advocates that was involved in the scandal.
Amadi said she took leave from the operations of the law firm in 2014 following her appointment as the Chief Registrar of the Judiciary.
Justice David Majajnja who was issued the orders on Tuesday recused himself from the case citing that he is a member of the Judicial Service Commission where Amadi also sits as the secretary.
As such, issues of impartiality were bound to be raised.
The file was thus taken back to presiding judge Alfred Mabeya who on Wednesday directed that responses to all the applications made be filed by Friday.
"Thereafter the parties file and exchange skeleton submissions. Highlighting will be on Monday at 10 am," Mabeya said.
So far, three applications have been filed in court in relation to the gold saga.
The Dubai-based firm filed the first application, accusing Amadi, her son and five others of fraudulent commercial activities.
A Kibera court will also hear a case in which a Swedish national and a Kenyan are charged with possessing two rhino horns worth Sh2 million.
The two have been charged with dealing in wildlife trophies, contrary to the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act of 2013.
The foreigner, Abdikadir Mohamed Yusuf, and Kowsar Salah Ugas were accused of dealing in the horns without a permit.
The two suspects were also jointly charged with possessing the wildlife trophy contrary to the same Act.
They were accused of unlawfully having in their possession two rhino horns weighing 1.24kg inside their car, jointly with others who are yet to be arrested.
