The High Court has stopped the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) from revoking a controversial title deed of a plot in Mombasa Port leased to a company in 1949 by the colonial government.

The court also allowed the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to investigate possible collusion between some KPA officials and the directors of John Grossert and Company Limited over a controversial acquisition of a Sh16.4 million loan from Barclays Bank in 2002.
