The High Court has temporarily stopped the award of a Sh647 million financial system management tender following an application by one of the bidders.
ADK Technologies moved to court to block the award of a tender -to automate the Integrated Financial Management System (Ifmis)- to its rival, arguing that the latter did not win on merit.
“Besides the prayer for certification of the application as urgent and stay, the application is mainly seeking leave to institute a substantive suit for prerogative orders of certiorari, mandamus and prohibition against the respondents,” read part of the ruling by Justice Jairus Ngaah.
