Five mattress manufacturers suspected of being involved in cartel activity that inflated product prices unknowingly exposed their collusion after jointly seeking a pre-emptive court injunction to block a planned raid on their premises, heightening the watchdog's fears of secret cooperation and price fixing.
On March 30, the manufacturers moved to court seeking orders to stop an impending raid by the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK), citing violations of their rights to privacy, property, fair administrative action and data protection.
