A court in Nairobi has dealt the Asset Recovery Agency (ARA) director a major blow after dismissing her application to strike out the case challenging her appointment.

At the same time, the Employment and Labour Relations Court Judge Nduma Nderi declined to suspend Brig (Rtd) Alice Mate's appointment after finding that it would not be in the public interest to issue the orders before a full hearing.
