A city lawyer’s triumph against the government’s negligence during road constructions has given hope Kenyans who have suffered similar fate at the hands of state agencies. Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi was on Thursday awarded Sh750,311 as costs of damages to his car, a Bentley Bentayga, which was caused by loose chips on a road under construction by the Kenya National Highways Authority (Kenha).
But his case is not the only one as the courts have previously held individuals, government agencies and private institutions to account for their negligence that leads to damages and suffering. Amhednasir was travelling to the country on August 30, 2018, from Arusha, Tanzania through the Nairobi-Namanga highway when his car got damaged.
