#Kenya's Court of Appeal unanimously backed Akiwumi JA's reasoning in this US Government appeal, but the available record omits the main judgment and final orders.
What this practically means
#Executive summary
#This document is the separate concurring judgment of Tunoi, JA in Civil Appeal 27 of 1999, an appeal by the Government of the United States of America against the judgment of the High Court of Kenya at Nairobi (Mbito, J) dated 1st September 1998 in consolidated suits H.C.C.C. Nos. 1315 of 1991 and 2040 of 1996. Tunoi, JA states that he has read the judgment of Akiwumi, JA in the same appeal, agrees with his reasoning and conclusions, and has nothing useful to add. The judgment was dated and delivered at Nairobi on 14th July 2000. The excerpt does not include the leading judgment of Akiwumi, JA, nor the final orders of the court, so the issues determined, the disposition of the appeal, the treatment of the High Court decision, and the costs order cannot be ascertained from the material supplied. No authorities, statutes, or holdings are set out in this portion. The only substantive content is the concurrence itself, which confirms that the Court of Appeal was unanimous in adopting Akiwumi, JA's reasoning, and that the appeal was decided by a bench of which Tunoi, JA was a member. Because the main judgment is absent, no binding propositions or quotable holdings from the disposition can be recorded without fabrication.
