Former Scangroup CEO Bharat Thakrar has sued the firm’s UK-based parent WPP Plc, its subsidiary WPP Scangroup, and all its directors in a Nairobi court for alleged loss and reputational, emotional and mental damage linked to the events that followed his suspension from the company he founded.
He is seeking more than half a billion shillings in Kenya, plus loss of potential earnings had he still been CEO of Scangroup, and reputational damage, which, according to UK media, could be in the region of £24 million (Sh4.3 billion), if the claim succeeds.
