Blow to suppliers as court rules unpaid bills not unconstitutional
The Labour Relations Court has extended orders barring the Kenya Rural Roads Authority from hiring five cadres of directors and engineers pending a case.
Government suppliers have been dealt a blow after the High Court dismissed a petition by 46 contractors seeking to compel the Garissa County Government to settle nearly Sh488 million in pending bills, ruling that unpaid contractual claims do not automatically rise to constitutional violations.
In a ruling delivered on January 19, Justice John Nyabuto Onyiego upheld a preliminary objection by the county government, finding that the dispute was fundamentally a commercial debt recovery matter that needed to be pursued through ordinary civil litigation rather than a Constitutional petition.
