NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenya's High Court blocked government agencies from pursuing claims of abuse of office against the head of the central bank, his lawyer said on Friday, pushing back a decision on a case that could trigger economic ructions.

The country's chief prosecutor this week ordered the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission (EACC) to charge Governor Njuguna Ndung'u in a case related to the award of a tender to install security software at the bank.
