The Appellate court has declined to stop the trial of two directors of a Chinese company that constructed the Sh4.1 billion Lake Basin Mall in Kisumu in which the prosecution alleges its cost was inflated to defraud taxpayers.

Three judges of the Court of Appeal ruled that although Zeyun Yang and Zhang Jing, the directors of Erdemann Property Ltd had an arguable appeal, they failed to show how they will be prejudiced if the trial is not stopped.
