Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>IEBC chief executive officer Marjan Hussein Marjan risks being committed to civil jail if he fails to pay Scanad Kenya Limited Sh248 million for media campaign services provided in 2007.<\/p>\n

Milimani High Court judge John Chigiti issued an order compelling the commission’s CEO to pay Scanad the money with interest from the date when the award was first issued by Justice Ngenye Macharia in 2021.<\/p>\n

In default, Marjan will have to explain to the court why he should not be cited for contempt. The judge said the commission has not given any satisfactory reason as to why the order issued by Ngenye in 2021 has not been fulfilled. He also noted that no effort has been made towards settling the claim.<\/p>\n

\u201cScanad has a legitimate expectation that should not only access but also enjoy the fruit of the judgment. The fair administrative action act shall also remain a dead letter unless IEBC and indeed all judgment debtors settle the decrees,” he said.<\/p>\n

The judge further said, \u201cWhere a public officer declines to perform the duty after the issuance of an order of mandamus, his or her action amounts to insubordination and contempt of court hence an action may perfectly be commenced to have him cited for such.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the hearing, Scanad through lawyer Gitau Singh said IEBC claimed it couldn’t pay because the National Treasury had not allocated its funds. But despite numerous demands, Gitau said the commission has deliberately declined to satisfy the decree issued by Ngenye and that the decision has never been appealed.<\/p>\n

According to the court records, the claim for the monies emanate from provision of strategic communication and integrated media campaigns services provided by Scanad to IEBC in 2007. Ngenye in ordering the monies be paid said it was obvious from documents produced in court that the commission owes Scanad.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe defendant on the other hand has not refuted this debt by any documents save to make mere denials. In fact, the assertion that there was a contestation as to whether Scanad completed the work should be frowned upon,” Ngenye said.<\/p>\n

“This is because no evidence to that effect was exhibited and two, Scanad’s bills having been approved for payment left no room for renegotiating the justification for the payment.\u201d<\/p>\n
