A High Court in Chuka has ordered the Kenya Wildlife Service to pay the estate of Josphat Karii Njeru over Sh4 million as compensation for his death. Justice Robert Kipkoech Limo set aside an earlier decision by the Senior Principal Magistrate’s Court in Marimati that dismissed Jediel Murithi Njeru. In a judgement delivered on April 11, 2019 the Principal Magistrate’s Court dismissed the case, forcing Murithi to file an appeal. “This court entered judgement for the appellant at Sh5 million less 20 per cent liability that reduced the figure by one million. The appellant is therefore awarded Sh4 million plus special damages of Sh45,000,” read the judgement.
