The East African Development Bank (EADB) bid to recover Sh50.4 million from former cabinet secretary Raphael Tuju in the form of legal costs has suffered a blow after the High Court slashed the amount to Sh750,000, marking a 98.5 percent chop.

Justice Josephine Mong'are reversed the decision of the court's deputy registrar to award the bank's advocates fees of Sh50.4 million, stating that the amount was based on wrong calculations and misdirection.
