Nairobi, May 7 -- The High Court has declined to grant suspended National Cereals and Produce Board Managing Director Joseph Muna Kimote an anticipatory bail, pending his arrest.

Mr Kimote moved to court arguing that he was apprehensive that the police might arrest him over the fertiliser scandal, yet he has already been charged and released on a cash bail of Sh1 million.

"The applicant through various persons has received credible information and threats of being re-arrested and charged with the same or related offences, relating to his position as the managing director of the NCPB," he said in the application.
