The Anti-Corruption High Court in Nairobi has barred the Ministry of Sports from paying Sh220 million to a private company hired to install grass and equipment in preparation for the 2018 African Nations Championship (Chan) in Kenya.

This follows a Sh1.1 billion tender saga that found its way in court. Justice Lucy Njuguna issued the orders in a case brought by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) against former Sports Principal Secretary Peter Kirimi Kaberia, and former sports officials John Ruga, Haron Komen Chebet, Isaac Okoth, the ex-Football Federation of Kenya (FKF) boss Nick Mwendwa, and a company identified as Gregori International.
