Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO) has been ordered by the High court to pay a Spanish firm Ksh4.4 billion in the next 40 days.
Justice Maureen Odero of the Milimani Commercial and Tax Division upheld a decision by an arbitrator in July 2019, who had awarded
Instalaciones Inabensa SA company Ksh4.4 billion faulting the electricity company for breach of contract. I find no evidence that the award published on August 26, 2019 contravenes public policy. I therefore decline to set aside the arbitrary award dated July 2019, she said.

Engineers have challenged the government to create a conducive environment for the profession to help achieve the country’s development agenda.
The Institution of Engineers of Kenya (IEK) conference in Mombasa County was attended by local and international participants and tackled various themes including smart cities, intelligent infrastructure and climate change resilience.
IEK president Nathan Matalanga said the industry faces several challenges that require improvement of the institutional and legislative framework for efficient delivery of services.
