Скачать или смотреть Omtatah's case seeking to bar KQ from sending pilots for training in South Africa dismissed

The High court has dismissed a case filed by Okiya Omtata that sought to bar Kenya Airways from training it's pilots in South Africa. The court ruled that the programme was suspended indefinitely and therefore the prohibition order sought cannot be issued.
High court Justice Hellen Ong'udi while agreeing with the defendants that the national carrier is not a public body said that the petition by Okiya Omtata has been overtaken by events. Omtata moved to court arguing that KQ, as it known by its code name, continues to receive public monies to keep the company afloat and that by so doing, it has become a public entity subject to public law with regard to the necessary safeguards of the said public funds, including being bound by Kenya’s public procurement laws.
