A Mombasa businessman has appealed a Sh10.2 million High Court award to a Somali-based company. Jamal Bandira said he was dissatisfied with the award to Nasibu Fish Company to cover loss of income after its vessel was detained in Kenya for almost two years. Bandira said the award was unfair as the vessel had not reached the Port of Mombasa when it was intercepted by the marine police on October 14, 2016. The businessman claims the vessel was detained at Kilifi and its crew arrested and later charged with being in the country illegally. Bandira, a businessman dealing with general supplies in Mombasa and Somalia, also faulted the court for failing to consider his evidence against the fish company when delivering the judgment.
