The tribunal charged with investigating bribery claims against Supreme Court Judge Philip Tunoi will hold a status conference today. Chairperson Sharad Rao said the pre-trial conference is designed for the parties to agree on the procedures.
“The conference is designed to set out the modus operandi of the hearings scheduled to begin on Monday next week,” said Rao. Rao’s team is charged with investigating Geoffrey Kiplagat’s claims that Tunoi received a Sh200 million bribe from Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero to fix the outcome of an election petition filed by the current Kabete Member of Parliament Ferdinand Waititu.
Other members are Judge Roselyn Korir, retired judge Jonathan Havelock, Judith Guserwa, James Kaberere Gachoka, Abdirashid Abdullahi Hussein and George Munji Wakukha. Judge Tunoi is expected to declare whether the hearing will be open to the public or closed.
