The High Court will issue directions today in a case in which EACC seeks to recover Sh257 million from a cleaning supervisor at the State Department of Correctional Services.
The commission in 2022 obtained orders freezing his accounts for allegedly obtaining the Sh257 million from prisons.
The Sh257 million is allegedly related to contracts for the supply of food and ration which were never delivered.
The goods were alleged to have been supplied by six firms registered as business names in which Eric Mutai is the sole proprietor.
The orders issued by Justice Esther Maina in 2022 also allowed the commission to seize Mutai's vehicles and parcels of land allegedly bought by the monies.
This was after the commission claimed Mutai utilized the alleged illegally acquired funds to purchase properties in Nyaribai Chache and Kericho.
In defending himself, Mutai told the court that the commission didn't establish a prima facie case against him.
He also told the court that the commission did not produce ownership documents for the properties he is alleged to have acquired.
Separately, the High Court is to mention a case in which former Rugby player Alex Olaba appealed against a six-year jail term after being found guilty of threatening to kill a witness in 2021.
Olaba has since urged the High Court to find that his appeal has merit given that the complainant was never called to testify in court.
When convicting him in 2023, Magistrate Geoffrey Onsarigo ruled that "Although the accused person is remorseful, the offences he faces are serious. l convict and sentence him to serve six years in count one of conspiracy to kill and two years imprisonment in the second account of interference with the judicial process."
The sentences he said will run concurrently.
