Attorney-General Kihara Kariuki has asked a court in Mombasa to set aside a preliminary judgment compelling the government to pay Kwale International Sugar Company Ltd (Kiscol) $277.1 million (Sh32 billion) in special damages.
Kiscol which sued the Cabinet Secretary National Treasury and the AG, is seeking special damages for breach of statutory and contractual duties over its lease of 15,000 acres of land for sugarcane farming. But the AG failed to respond in time forcing the court to award Kiscol its prayers against the government in an interlocutory judgement.
