The Court of Appeal has upheld a decision requiring the Kenyan government to compensate 16 Ugandan transport and logistics firms for trucks and goods destroyed during the 2007/08 post-election violence, but revised payout originally set at Ksh8.3 billion (about $64.3 million) by the High Court.
The firms — among them Intraspeed Logistics Ltd, Dooba Enterprises Ltd, Wilbex Uganda Ltd, Sebco Uganda Ltd, and Mugega Holdings Ltd — successfully sued Kenya’s Attorney General and the Inspector General of Police (then Commissioner of Police) in 2009 for failing to protect their assets during the unrest.
