Holding

The plaintiff's suit is dismissed, with costs to the defendant

Facts

The plaintiff, KENCALL EPZ LIMITED, provided call center services to report famine-stricken areas in Kenya. The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Information and Communications allegedly promised funding and payment for the services. However, the plaintiff did not receive payment and closed the call center.

Issues

  1. Whether or not the parties entered into a contract for the provision of services
  2. Whether or not the plaintiff suffered loss in the sum of USD 118,000
  3. Whether or not the plaintiff was entitled to the reliefs sought

Reasoning

The court found no evidence of a contract or legally binding agreement between the plaintiff and the Ministry of Information and Communications. The plaintiff's claim for loss and compensation was dismissed as there was no basis in law for the defendant's liability.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed

Orders

  • The plaintiff's suit is dismissed
  • Costs to the defendant
