East African Portland Cement Company (EAPCC) #ticker:PORT acting MD Stephen Nthei has been fined Sh200,000 or in default serve one-month imprisonment for contempt of court.
Mr Nthei was cited in contempt for appointing Japheth Ombogo as a production manager in violation of a court order dated November 18, 2019, that restrained the company from substantively filling the position.
The judge found that the company’s lawyer was present when the court made the order and therefore aware of the order.
The court also noted the company’s Secretary at the Legal Department received the order.
