The High Court will today hear a case in which former CS Ukur Yatani challenged his arrest and intended prosecution in a Sh1.2 billion probe.
The issue gave rise to his intended prosecution are alleged acts of corruption he committed while serving as governor of Marsabit County between 2013 and 2017.
Ukur has taken issue with this saying there has been a delay in the commencement of the purported investigations against him.
"It smirks of mischief," he says.
He questions why offences committed in 2013 were suddenly being investigated in 2004.
He also took issue with how warrants to search his properties were drafted.
The EACC on the other hand has denied planting fabricated evidence to frame the former minister.
They said the claims as raised by Ukur remain unsubstantiated as there is no evidence to back them.
Justice Chacha Mwita is set to proceed with the hearing of the case today.
Separately, Justice Bahati Mwamuye will issue directions in a case in which Journalist Tony Gachoka and Mt Kenya Jurists have challenged the government's plan to lease JKIA to Adani group.
The last time the matter was in court, the duo were allowed to amend their documents after indicating that they had in their possession new information that was crucial to the case.
Mwamuye also reserved the question of issuance of interim reliefs to today's mention date.
In the case before Mwamuye, Gachoka and Mt Kenya Jurists argue that the whole process regarding the JKIA-Adani deal is tainted with illegalities.
Through advocate Ndegwa Njiru, the duo argue that the takeover or the proposed alienation was never subjected to the mandatory public participation yet it involves a strategic national asset.
In the one filed by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC), Judge Chigiti issued an order prohibiting any person from implementing or acting on the privately initiated Adani proposal over JKIA pending the conclusion of the court case.
The duo argued that leasing a strategic and profitable Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to a private entity is irrational.
The deal they said violates the principles of good governance, accountability, transparency, and the prudent use of public money.
