The case may see him jailed for contempt of court and using his own resources to pay for the contract he granted against court orders.The project also incorporates a solar lighting component.
The case was filed by Seluk Investment Limited, a firm of contractors that initially won the tender for upgrading of wholesale and retail markets loop roads, St.Mary’s Girls Primary to KWFT link Road in Machakos Municipality.
On February 21,2024, Adipo awarded the tender to Hayaty Enterprises Limited in contravention to a stay order pending determination of substantive Judicial Review Application. Pleadings filed in court say : “However,in total disregard of orders of this Honorable Court, the 1st Contemnor(Adipo) have decided to proceed with the procuring process and have issued an Award to Hayati Enterprises Limited/ Mashteck Limited(JV).
It states that the works had already started,which is a deliberate effort to render the case nugatory and a blatant effort to defy court orders.
