KBC sued for Sh49b over breach of contract in digital licence row

The award of exclusive digital rights to a Chinese firm has been thrown into the centre of a Sh49 billion dispute between national broadcaster KBC and Channel 2 Group Corp.

Former Law Society of Kenya CEO Apollo Mboya wants Parliament to review the award to StarTimes/Pan African Network Group, which he claims was riddled with kickbacks to senior Government officials.
