A Chinese firm has sued the Kenyan government seeking compensation for ‘idle time’ following the delayed implementation of the Kenya-Tanzania Power Interconnection line project.

‘Idle time’ is an amount paid as compensation for the time a contractor’s employees or machines remain unproductive due to factors that can either be controlled or uncontrolled by the contracting party.
