The Court of Appeal has declined to reopen a case involving KCB's auction of a 443-acre coffee farm in Thika owned by President Uhuru Kenyatta's cousin Kungu Muigai, ending a 32-year dispute. The bench presided over by Justice Asike Makhandia said it was baffling that Benjoh Amalgamated - a company owned by Mr Kungu - was asking the court to reopen the same consent that the apex court had refused to reopen. New informationBenjoh Amalgamated had sought a review of a judgment delivered by a different bench, arguing that it had obtained new information that was not within its knowledge at the time the court delivered its judgment on December 15, 2017. He said Mr Meenye has always been available since 1992, and the issue of execution of the consent was dealt with by the court in a judgment in March 1998. The court added that the firm appeared to suggest that Mr Meenye emerged from nowhere and actively represented it in court without its instructions.
