A company associated with Goldenberg architect Kamlesh Pattni has won a court battle reinstating a Sh2 billion compensation claim it has made against the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK).

Malaysia-based Lynwood Development Limited says the claim is for the $3.7 million (Sh318 million at the current exchange rate of Sh86) it paid the CBK in April 1997, being a 10 per cent deposit for the purchase of Grand Regency Hotel and interest accrued.
