Court approves the attachment of Treasury’s debt in Ifmis tender row

The High Court has barred the Treasury from releasing contract payments to a firm awarded a tender linked to the State-run Integrated Financial Management Information System (Ifmis) due to a debt of Sh212.8 million due to its business partner.

Enforcing an arbitration-backed decree stemming from the technology tender, the judge ruled that while government assets cannot be seized, the law permits attaching debts owed by the government to third parties.
