The High Court in Nakuru has ordered the state to compensate a man Sh1.6 million within 45 days, for wrongful detention. The court ruled in favour of Lechornai Lorkuran for an award of Sh500,000 as compensation for wrong detention plus Sh1,144,865 as accumulated costs of the case which has dragged on since 2010.
Lady Justice Rachel Ngetich noted since judgment was delivered on December 9, 2011, on the compensation, the state is yet to pay up. “The applicant (Lorkuran) was awarded Sh500,000 for wrongful detention, in a judgment of a High Court Petition Number 7 of 2010, delivered in December 2011,” stated the judge.
