A Sh4.7 billion legal dispute between Kwale Sugar International Company (Kiscol) and the Kenya Bureau of Standards (Kebs) has taken a twist after the national regulator applied for an order to compel the miller to deposit Sh135 million in court as security for costs.
Kebs has cited Kiscol’s alleged financial instability for its action, saying the firm is embroiled in various other cases and may not be able to pay the costs of the suit.
