Centum Investment Company #ticker:CTUM has been spared from compensating the buyer of its Coca-Cola bottling businesses Sh3.7 billion after the Supreme Court stopped the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) from demanding the billions.

The company in 2019, sold its 27.6 percent stake in Nairobi Bottlers and 53.9 percent interest in Almasi Beverages — the owner of Mt Kenya Bottlers, Kisii Bottlers and Rift Valley Bottlers — to Coca-Cola Beverages Africa (CCBA) for Sh19.3 billion.
