Triton, whose managing director Yagnesh Mohanlal Devani is still holed up in Britain, had secured a Sh1.2 billion facility from KCB Group and arbitrarily disposed of billions of tonnes of petroleum products without the lender’s consent. The magistrate directed Mr Okello to present all the remaining witnesses to testify between March 19 and 21 when the trial resumes. Devani, Kilonzo, Otieno, Pathak, Mutua and Triton are charged with stealing 318,656 metric tonnes of jet fuel valued at $365,974.050 (about Sh36.5 million) on diverse dates between April 23 and September 4, 2008, at the Kipevu Oil Storage Facility in Mombasa. They also face another charge of stealing 12,782 metric tonnes of automobile gas oil delivered via MT Overseas Primar valued at $7,999,691.39 (Sh799.9 million), the property of KCB. Only four of the six (Kilonzo, Otieno, Pathak and Mutua) are in the dock.
