The Court of Appeal has reduced a Sh704 million award against the government in a decades-old dispute over anti-malaria chemicals and equipment supplied to the Ministry of Health. Despite upholding an award of Sh1.157 billion to Equip Agencies Limited for goods delivered in the 1990s, the higher court overturned an order requiring the government to pay 18% compound interest annually. This interest component, which had amassed over time, was removed due to Equip Agencies' failure to prove or plead its entitlement to it.
