A fresh attempt by businessman Paul Wanderi Ndung’u to reopen a settled dispute involving Milestone Games and the betting industry regulator over the use of the name Sportpesa has failed.

The Court of Appeal rejected his bid to overturn a February 2024 consent order that marked Milestone Games’ case against the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB) as withdrawn. The court ruled that it could not set aside an order that had never been formally presented before it.
