A Kenyan science research firm is in court seeking a compensation of Sh22 million from the National Veterinary Institute of Ethiopia for supplying bad livestock vaccines to a United Nations (UN) agency in South Sudan in a sub-contracted tender.
According to the court papers, the Global Scientific & Research Company Limited was in December 2015 contracted by the UN’s Food & Agricultural Organization (FAO) to supply various livestock vaccines in Juba, South Sudan. FAO leads the UN’s international efforts to defeat hunger.
