#Kenya's Court of Appeal ruled on this US government case in 2000, but the full judgment is missing, so the outcome can't be confirmed.
What this practically means
#Executive summary
#This is an appeal to the Court of Appeal at Nairobi by the Government of the United States of America against Joseph Muiruri Githongo, arising from a judgment of the High Court of Kenya at Nairobi (Justice Mbito) dated 1st September 1998 in consolidated suits H.C.C.C. Nos. 1315 of 1991 and 2040 of 1996. The judgment as supplied comprises only the separate short judgment of Tunoi JA, who states that he has read the judgment of Akiwumi JA, agrees with his reasoning and conclusions, and has nothing useful to add. The lead judgment of Akiwumi JA, which evidently contains the court's reasoning, the questions for determination, the treatment of the High Court decision, the final orders and any costs direction, is not included in the text provided. Consequently, the substance of the dispute, the issues framed, the holdings, the disposition of the appeal and the costs order cannot be reported from this excerpt. The judgment was dated and delivered at Nairobi on 13th July 2000 and is signed by P. K. Tunoi, Judge of Appeal. The bench was unanimous in the sense that Tunoi JA concurred with Akiwumi JA; Omolo JA sat on the coram but no separate opinion by him appears in the text supplied. This brief is necessarily incomplete and should be supplemented once the full judgment of Akiwumi JA is available.
