The court, presided over by Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu rejected Tuju`s application to provide more evidence and termed the move as an afterthought with the objective of filling up gaps in the case.
Tuju`s lawyer, senior counsel Paul Muite defended that the additional evidence was struck out last month by the court and it was in response to a slanted narrative on the history of the engagements between the parties, as given by East African Development Bank’s official.
The development comes barely weeks after the Supreme Court rejected an attempt by the former CS to block two receiver managers appointed by the lender.
