Veteran politician Kenneth Matiba on Wednesday won his more than a decade-long battle with the State over his unlawful detention during the fight for multi-party democracy in the early 1990s after the court awarded him Sh504 million for damages suffered.
Although the 85-year-old former Kiharu MP, who suffered a stroke in jail, will not get back his health, Justice Isaac Lenaola said the half-a-billion shillings awarded to him should act as a reminder of the dark days of the Nyayo era.
