The National Treasury can now award the tender for the automation of the Integrated Financial Management System (Ifmis).

This is after the case to stop the award of the Sh647 million ICT deal flopped in what the High Court Judge Jairus Ngaah described as an “abuse of the court process.”

In a dramatic turn of events, the court heard that ADK Technologies did not file the case to block the award as indicated in the court papers. The case to dispute the tender was filed by its partner, Transnational Technologies Limited, on behalf of ADK.
