The Court of Appeal has allowed four people to be enjoined in a suit in which retired President Mwai Kibaki is seeking to regain control of a company he claims he has co-owned since the 1970s.
Shareholders John Mwangi Kibira, Peter Weru Gichuhi, Jacinta Mwara Mathenge and Daniel Githinji Gitonga filed the application at the Court of Appeal in Nyeri County through Mindo Advocates.
Judges GBM Kariuki, Fatuma Sichale and J Kantai allowed them to be enjoined.
In the case, Mr Kibaki and Mr Kimwatu Kanyungu filed an appeal seeking control of Mathingira Wholesalers Company Ltd, saying they want the firm reverted to them.
They want the Court of Appeal to overturn orders issued by the Lands and Environment Court on July 12, 2016 in which Justice Lucy Waithaka directed that two sets of directors continue managing the firm jointly.
