The High Court has thrown out a class action case against Safaricom and the UK-based Vodafone filed by three M-Pesa account holders who wanted to compel the telco to compensate clients of its mobile money service to the tune of Sh305 billion.

Dismissing the case, Justice Nixon Sifuna said the three petitioners, namely Gichuki Waigwa, Lucy Nzola, and Godfrey Okutoyi, failed to comply with the orders of court issued on October 4, 2023, requiring them to serve 21 defendants, including Safaricom and Vodafone, with the pleadings.
