Kenya: Court stops owner of Solai dam from leaving the country

The owner of a dam in Solai that killed 47 people has been stopped from travelling out of the country pending determination of a compensation case filed against him by relatives of the victims.

High Court judge Antony Ombwayo barred Patel Mansukhlal Kansagra from travelling although he had been allowed to fly out by another court pending determination of a fresh case filed under certificate of urgency by lawyer Ronald Onyango for dam tragedy victims.

Mr Onyango told the judge that the victims of the May 9 tragedy were apprehensive that Mr Kansagra might leave the country when their case is yet to be determined. Mr Kansagra recently flew out of the country and returned his passport to the court trying him for the offence of manslaughter alongside others.

Mr Kansagra and others who are out on a Sh2.5 million bond [25,000 USD] have been directed to deposit their travel documents with the court.
