A judge has withdrawn, for the second time, from a case in which a bank is seeking to recover Sh1.6 billion from a firm owned by Jubilee Secretary General Raphael Tuju. Commercial Court Judge Grace Nzioka said although neither EABD nor Tuju had requested her to withdraw, she would not continue with the case.

The bank, he added, wanted Tuju punished for defying court orders. She also ordered that Tuju and his children - Yma Tuju, Alma Tuju and Mano Tuju - should explain why they should not be committed to civil jail for disobeying court orders that had paved way for the receivers to access the firm.
