KBL dismisses distributor’s take on Court of Appeal order

Beer maker Kenya Breweries Limited (KBL) said on Friday that the Court of Appeal directive that the parties maintain the status quo as their case contesting conservatory orders issued by the High Court is heard and determined had effectively frozen the contractual relationship with its estranged distributor Bia Tosha.

KBL said its understanding of the court order was that its dealings with the distributor — whose contract expired on August 2 — was no longer tenable.
