The company that imported Russian Sputnik V Covid-19 vaccine has sued Nation Media Group seeking Sh4.8 billion for loss of business. Dinlas Pharma EPZ Limited claims that it has suffered losses of $45 million (Sh4.8 billion), following ‘COVID Millionaires’ publication in a local daily owned by NMG. Dinlas entered into a contract to import Sputnik V vaccine from Russia via Dubai. According to court documents, the publication on April 2 portrayed Dinlas as a corrupt company intending to defraud the public. Dinlas say the words alluded to corrupt supplies to Kemsa, being investigated by Parliament and that it imported Sputnik V without WHO approvals.
