The High Court has dismissed a claim by two men who had sued Safaricom #ticker:SCOM claiming that the mobile telco infringed on their copyright with the launch of Okoa Jahazi in 2009.

Justice Mary Kasango dismissed the claim by Christopher Omare and Michael Otachi, saying the two failed to specify how the company infringed on their copyright. According to the judge, the proposal to Safaricom was too general and not original as claimed.
