Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka got a sigh of relief on Wednesday after the High Court suspended a decision to freeze the accounts of his foundation.
The NGO Coordination Board had ordered the freezing of Kalonzo Musyoka Foundation accounts over money laundering claims.
Justice Roseline Aburili said the orders would remain in force until an application by the foundation is heard and determined.
"The leave hereby granted shall operate as stay for the implementation of the respondent's order dated May 2," stated Aburili.
Earlier this week, the Kalonzo Musyoka Foundation had moved to court seeking orders to stop the freezing of its accounts at the I&M bank and harassment of its officials after the NGO board alleged that the organization could not account for over Sh140 Million.
Executive Director of the board Fazul Mahamed had through a letter claimed that there was sufficient cause to warrant investigations into the affairs of the Kalonzo's foundation on possible cases of money laundering and diversion of donor aid.
Those claims were rubbished by Mr Musyoka who claimed that Fazul’s actions were politically motivated and that the foundation would consider legal action against him.
The matter will be heard on May 31, 2017.
