The Court of Appeal has allowed mobile phone manufacturer Nokia to claim Sh376 million debt from a local firm.

Dismissing an appeal filed by Musimba Investments Ltd, seeking to block a High Court’s decree in favour of Nokia Corporation, Justices William Ouko, Fatuma Sichale and Sankale ole Kantai, sitting in Nairobi, ruled that the case filed before them failed to meet the threshold to halt the orders of the lower court.
