Summary

Stanley Mombo Amuti, a former public officer at the National Water Conservation and Pipeline Corporation, was ordered in civil proceedings to pay the Government KSh41,208,000 as assets he could not explain from lawful income. The Court of Appeal dismissed his challenge in May 2019, and on 30 April 2020 the Supreme Court struck out his further appeal for want of jurisdiction. Unexplained-assets cases are decided on the civil standard and are not findings of criminal guilt.
