Owners of Internet and pay TV service provider Zuku have been thrust into a vicious boardroom war sparked by plans to sell off Wananchi Business Services — the unit that deals in corporate data services.

The company’s founder, Richard Bell, has moved to court seeking to stop his partners — Wananchi Nominees Limited, ISP Kenya Limited and East Coast Telecoms Limited — from instituting any civil or criminal proceedings against him or East Africa Capital Partners Management LP (a company he owns) for alleged mismanagement, asset stripping and tax fraud schemes.
