Safaricom has failed to stop the hearing of a case of alleged infringement of intellectual property after planning to roll out a product similar to an innovator’s idea who shared his invention with officials of the country’s largest telco in 2021.

High Court judge Josephine Mong’are dismissed Safaricom’s application seeking to suspend the petition filed by Peter Nthei Muoki and Beluga Ltd, who have sued, alleging that the telco infringed on his intellectual property.
