The High Court has faulted the Ministry of Lands over its failure to provide information relating to the merger of NIC and Commercial Bank of Africa and why the former NCBA constituents were exempted from paying millions of shillings worth of stamp duty.
Justice Lawrence Mugambi ruled that the ministry and the Attorney General violated the Constitution and the relevant statutory provisions by withholding the information as sought by Okiya Omtatah through a letter on October 1, 2020.
