Former Britam employees have lost a case challenging their prosecution over alleged theft. High Court Judge George Odunga dismissed the application filed by Edwin Dande, Elizabeth Nkukuu, Shiv Arora and Patricia Njeri. However, he gave them a month to appeal.

“I give temporary orders for 30 days to allow the applicants to appeal,” the judge noted. The decision by the judge came after the four moved to block Director of Public Prosecutions Keriako Tobiko and their former employer from having them on the dock.
