Kenya: High Court throws out TransCentury case

A judicial review of a decision by the Public Procurement Administrative Review Board to reject an appeal by a consortium of Kenya’s TransCentury, its subsidiary Civicon and Russia’s Power Machines against a tender to lease a minimum of 50MW geothermal wellhead generation units to the Kenya Electricity Generation Company (KenGen) has ordered that the case be thrown out with costs. KenGen signed a contract with a consortium of Toshiba and local companies RentCo and Lantech on 5 September 2015, but the deal has been held up in the courts.
