A third-year university student who was crippled by a road accident has been awarded Sh24.4 million as compensation. He had been awarded by the high court Sh28 million. The lorry driver was accused of driving at high speed, driving without due care and attention for other road users which led to the accident. They said it was wrong of the High Court to find them 100 per cent liable and making speculative awards on the loss of capacity to earn. The appeal judges noted that the High Court judge took the correct view of the matter and cannot be faulted.
