The High Court has rejected an attempt by Kenya Power to rope in the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) in a Sh476 million billing dispute with advertising firm Scanad Kenya Limited, a subsidiary of WPP Scangroup, amid claims of missing documents seized by the agency’s investigators.

The court ruled that the commission has no direct stake in the commercial dispute and should not be drawn into a purely contractual issue.
