Mobile phone operator Airtel Kenya has moved to court to block the competition watchdog from undertaking investigations into complaints made by four distributors over alleged abuse of buyer power.
The company says in the petition filed before the High Court that the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) has no powers to investigate the complaints yet if proven, the allegations are subject to penalties of fines ranging from a minimum of Sh10 million to 10 percent of the previous year’s gross turnover.
