The High Court has dismissed an appeal by Moja Expressway Company; the firm that manages Nairobi's Expressway toll road, challenging a Sh500,000 compensation order for unlawfully using a former employee's image in promotional materials without his consent.

The court upheld the May 2024 ruling by the Data Protection Commissioner, affirming that companies must seek fresh consent to use personal data after an employment relationship ends.
