Oil marketer Total Kenya Limited, which has since rebranded to TotalEnergies Marketing Kenya, has been ordered to compensate a businessman whose franchised fuel station collapsed in 2010 due to a series of managerial lapses by the French firm.
In a significant victory for small-scale petroleum dealers against corporate giants, the High Court found Total Kenya liable for multiple contractual violations, including persistent fuel supply failures, neglected equipment and systemic mismanagement.
