内罗毕，9月4日——高等法院推翻了一项法律意见，该意见曾为肯尼亚通信管理局（CA）向与其前主席Mary Wambui Mungai有关联的公司进行相关付款扫清了法律障碍。\n\n法官Lawrence Mugambi宣布，副总检察长Shadrack Mose于2024年10月1日签署的法律意见违宪，并表示总检察长办公室在裁决本应由道德与反腐败委员会（EACC）调查的利益冲突问题时超出了其职责范围。\n\n这一裁决取消了通信管理局处理涉及Nightigale Enterprises公司款项所依赖的法律依据。该公司此前与Wambui及其女儿有关联。\n\n法官Mugambi裁定：因此，该法律意见违宪且无法律效力。\n\n不过，法官并未认定数字高速公路（Digital Superhighway）标案违法，也没有裁定Wambui犯有罪行。\n\n相反，他表示，有关利益冲突的指控需要经过EACC的调查，才能得出任何结论。\n\nMugambi表示，该反腐机构拥有调查Nightigale所有权变更、受益所有权、可能的代持安排以及资金流向的权力和专业知识。

原文原文 / Original Text

NAIROBI, Kenya, Sept. 4 - The High Court has quashed a legal opinion that cleared the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) to make payments linked to a company associated with its former chairperson Mary Wambui Mungai.

Justice Lawrence Mugambi declared unconstitutional the October 1, 2024 opinion by Solicitor-General Shadrack Mose, saying the Attorney-General's office had exceeded its mandate by determining a conflict-of-interest matter that should be investigated by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).

The ruling removes the legal basis the CA had relied on to process payments involving Nightigale Enterprises, a company previously linked to Wambui and her daughter.

"The resulting opinion is thus unconstitutional and of no legal effect," Justice Mugambi ruled.

The judge, however, did not find that the Digital Superhighway tenders were illegal or that Wambui had committed an offence.

Instead, he said allegations of conflict of interest required investigation by the EACC before any conclusion could be reached.

Mugambi said the anti-graft agency had the powers and expertise to investigate changes in Nightigale's ownership, beneficial ownership, possible proxy arrangements and the movement of funds.
