High Court judge Mary Kasango has refused to recuse herself from a Sh1.5 billion debt case facing Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju. Tuju sought to have Kasango out of the case following a petition he filed at the Judicial Service Commission regarding her conduct. He accused the judge of bias and favouritism in the debt case pitting him against East Africa Development Bank. He said throughout proceedings in the case, the judge has exhibited favouritism towards EADB and bias against Dari Limited and its directors. Tuju accused Kasango of failure to act on an urgent application he had filed regarding receivership and insolvency proceedings.
