His lawyer, Kamundi Kinyua, said Pride Inn had agreed to pay the debt in installments through postdated cheques but started defaulting in 2012. However, in the latest petition, Pride Inn contested an advertisement on the winding up. "The gazette notice and the advertisement were discussing the issues before the court and thus affecting the business of the hotel," said lawyer Natasha Ali for the hotel. In the case, Pride Inn has asked the court to dismiss the winding up petition, terming it defective. The lawyer argued that Tropicana Hotels made their claim after a new law came into effect.
