SportPesa moves to court to force BCLB officials to obey previous court orders

Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB) officials now risk jail time for violating court orders barring them from interfering with the operations of the gaming platform SportPesa.
This comes after Milestone Games Limited, the company that operates the SportPesa brand in Kenya, moved to the High Court seeking to have the Board’s Chairman Cyrus Maina and board members Peter Mbugi, Peter Kanaiya, Paul Njaga, Sabrina Kanini, Joy Masinde and Daniel Koech jailed for contempt of court.
“The action to belittle and disregard court orders at will cannot be taken lightly and should be arrested at the earliest opportunity,” reads the application by Milestone filed in the High Court.
