The State and a minerals prospector who had been ordered to pay a ranching firm Sh28 million have won a reprieve, after a judge suspended the execution of the judgment and decree, pending a hearing and determination of an appeal.
Environment and Land Court Judge Edward Wabwoto issued the order on condition that Ms Lillian Mutua, trading as Lillian M Gems deposits Sh5 million as security, in a joint interest-earning account of Kasigau Ranching (DA) Company Ltd and her advocates within 30 days.
