A chairman of a tea factory is recovering in hospital after he was involved in an accident moments after the High Court ruled on a case in which he has sued Kenya Tea Development Agency chairman Peter Kanyago.

A colleague he was with said an ambulance belonging to a mission hospital hit Mr Arthur Mukira of Chinga Tea Factory as they were crossing the road to where he had parked his car near Milimani Law Courts in Nairobi.

β€œHe had been given all the orders that he had sought and we were crossing the road to where his car was when this terrible thing happened,” John Mithamo, a director of Ndima Factory, said.

He said the ambulance, which was not carrying a patient, rushed Mr Mukira to Nairobi Hospital.

He is admitted in the high dependency unit.
