Summary
High Court Judge Stephen Murugu Githinji issued an injunction restricting Kipkorir arap Menjo, Alice Chesire, Francis Okwara, Gitonga Kamiti and Samuel Mecca from assuming directorship.
Former managing director of Kenya Seed, Nathaniel Tum, and five other directors applied for the injunction, terming the appointments by Mr Munya as unlawful.
Former associates of the late Daniel arap Moi have blocked the recently appointed directors of Kenya Seed Company from taking office, setting the stage for a protracted war with the government over the management of this key farming agency.
