Former Nairobi County Finance Executive Charles Kerich has been spared a three-month jail term after the High Court set aside contempt orders issued against him in a long-running Sh106 million legal fees dispute.
When the matter came up before Justice Francis Kerich at the Milimani High Court on Thursday, July 16, the court was informed that the parties had reached an agreement on the settlement of the outstanding debt.
Under the consent reached by the parties, Kerich has already made an immediate payment of Sh30 million to the law firm Kwengu & Company Advocates involved in the dispute, while the remaining balance will be paid in instalments under a payment schedule presented before the court.
