Two directors of a flower firm accused of stealing Sh107 million from the company have failed to quash the criminal charges after a judge ruled that there was no proof that the prosecution was abusing the court process.

Mr Shailesh Kumar Rai and his wife Ranjeeta Pandey Rai, who are directors at Rosalia Blooms Limited challenged their prosecution arguing that the charges were illegal and that the trial court failed to distinguish the company as a separate entity from its directors as they cannot be held liable for the acts of the company.
