Head of Civil Service Joseph Kinyua along with former Attorney General Amos Wako has been summoned to appear in court to testify on the Anglo Leasing scandal.
Chief Magistrate Felix Kombo did issue the order on Monday to appear in court citing that the two were key witnesses in the proceedings of the case.
Mr Kombo stated that the two had failed to adhere to the court order given before despite the previous summonses while giving a June date for them to appear.
Lawyer Ahmednassir Abdullahi's proxy- Sadina Carren- representing the accused had agitated for the prosecution to be pressured to move and avoid delaying the case.
Mr Kinyua was serving as a Permanent Secretary at the Planning ministry during the Nyayo era and later at the Treasury when former President Mwai Kibaki took over the government.
Mr Kinyua is expected to give his testimony for the prosecution in the suit where senior government officials and some businessmen are accused of participating in the issuance of "irregular" security tenders from the State.
Mr Wako has been asked to be a witness in the suit because some of the controversial security tenders received approval from his office as well as the Cabinet.
Some foreign witnesses have also been allowed to testify via video link and they include Clyde Christopher P.Marklew, a resident of the United Kingdom and Professor Jason Sharman AN Australian citizen living n the UK.
Emily Kamau who is the Senior Assistant of Public Prosecutions (DPP) was allowed to recall an earlier witness, Michael Mubea the Ethics and EACC CEO whom they had accidentally forgotten to issue with the necessary documents to produce in court.
