A court has ordered the release of property of Kenya Railways that had been attached by an international investor over a Sh26 billion dispute.
The Court of Appeal lifted an order vesting Kenya Railways’ property into the authority of Edermann Property Ltd.
It said that an appeal filed by Kenya Railways was arguable and should be heard up to conclusion.
Court of Appeal judges Alnashir Visram, Martha Koome and Hannah Okwengu lifted an order issued by a Commercial Division judge, Mr Justice Alfred Mabeya, on June 8, in favour of Edermann Property.

The appellate judges said that Kenya Railways would be compelled to breach its contractual and statutory obligations arising from its inability to deal with several of its properties that were injuncted by Justice Mabeya.
