“Having regards to the findings and observations that I have made in this judgement, I find that the instant petition is merited and I therefore allow it,” ruled Okwany. “The tenders contravened some sections of National Government Constituency Fund Act, 2015 on openness, accountability and public participation,” said Ondabu. Judge Okwany ruled that the instant petition raised allegations or questions touching on violations of constitutional rights, which the court properly has jurisdiction over. “I find that this court is properly seized of this matter,” ruled Okwany. Ondabu said that the minorities were granted only 9 percent which is Sh10 million of the tenders instead of 30 percent which amounts to Sh40 million.
