The High Court has directed the Standard Group PLC and the government to discuss whether to adopt a judgement that found that the State violated the company’s rights following a raid ordered by former Internal Security Minister John Michuki.

Justice Teresiah Matheka on Wednesday told the parties’ lawyers to decide whether the court should go ahead and determine how much Standard Group should be paid for the destruction of property.
