The High Court has found Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale guilty of contempt of court for failing to comply with a previous court order concerning the planned Ebola quarantine facility in Laikipia.
In its ruling, the court said Duale deliberately failed to obey its directives, an act it deemed to be contempt of court. As a result, the court ordered him to appear in person on June 23 for mitigation before sentencing.
The finding follows a case filed by Katiba Institute through lawyer Malidzo Nyawa, who accused the respondents of willfully disregarding court orders. The court agreed that Duale’s conduct amounted to contempt and approved legal sanctions against him.
Duale is expected to appear before the court on June 23 for mitigation, after which the court will proceed with sentencing in the matter.
