“Despite demand being made by the plaintiff on the defendant and notice of intention to sue being given, the defendant has failed, refused and/or neglected to pay the said sum of $12,886,213,” says Iberdrola in a suit filed at Milimani Law Courts, Nairobi.
But the receivers, in a response filed through law firm Iseme Kamau & Maema, claim the agreement cannot be enforced since it was signed by directors of the firm who no longer have control over it. They have asked the High Court to rule the agreement invalid.
