Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>A witness was at pain to explain who gave the auctioneers the go-ahead to sell the disputed wheat worth millions of shillings pitting Atta Kenya and Grain Bulk Handlers Limited.<\/p>\n

A defendant witness from Beyond Auctioneers was put to task to explain whether the notice to collect and sell 13,000 metric tons of wheat was properly done.<\/p>\n

Atta Limited lawyer Mila Bwire told the court that the process of disposing off the disputed wheat was done in bad faith and against the laid auctioning procedures.<\/p>\n

He went further to compel the auctioneer to verify the amount he had auctioned and if he had any proof of it yet again the auctioneer failed the test.<\/p>\n

In some instances, Atta Kenya Limited had to seek the intervention of the magistrates and the defendant’s lawyer to have the witness answer the questions as required.<\/p>\n

The cross-examination came to an end with the High Court Judge Florence Macharia saying there was a pending application of the same case that had to be given.<\/p>\n

She directed to have the ruling of the application on April 11, 2024.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, the plaintiff, Atta Kenya Limited, agreed with Louis Dreyfus Company Limited for the purchase of 38,500 metric tons of milling wheat.<\/p>\n

Some 29,500 metric tons were to be delivered to Atta Kenya Limited, where the payment for the shipment was done in June 2014 to LDCL, totaling $7.565 million (Sh1.1 billion).<\/p>\n

However, the plaintiff fell behind in paying the required customs duty and storage fees owed to the Commissioner \u2013 Customs and Border Control and the second defendant, Grain Bulk Handlers.<\/p>\n

As the matter was under review by all the parties, Atta Kenya Limited said it received a letter that the consignment had been sold by Beyond Auctioneers to Grain Industries Ltd at a total cost of Sh217.48 million, which is way below the market value of Sh730.3 million.<\/p>\n
