A Tanzanian juice processor has lost a Sh2.4 billion claim against the Kenya Ports Authority for losses it incurred at the Mombasa Port during the 2007/08 post-election violence.

Modern Holdings East Africa Ltd had sued KPA for loss of 15 of its 21 containers that were to be shipped to the United Arab Emirates after the country descended into chaos after the disputed 2007 General Election.
