Witness terms Kimunya move on Anglo Leasing illegal

Former Finance minister Amos Kimunya did not have legal authority to cancel payments to a foreign firm with which the government signed the multi-billion shillings worth Anglo Leasing contract, a Nairobi court was told yesterday.

A prosecution witness said all attendant promissory notes in the contract which made Kenya liable constituted an irrevocable, unconditional and legally binding commitment from the government to pay Infotalent Limited on demand.
