Law Society of Kenya president Nelson Havi has faulted the court ruling which declared the SGR contract unconstitutional. He said the government may be planning to use the ruling should the contractor - China Road and Bridge Company - sues for breach of contract. In a tweet on Friday night, Havi said, "Something doesn’t add up in Court of Appeal’s decision declaring completed SGR project unconstitutional and unlawful.
