Security firm sues Kirinyaga County over Sh6.6m

Kirinyaga County has found itself in court for failing to pay Pada Security and Alarm Systems its dues worth Ksh6.6 million.

According to the Court filings, Pada Security and Alarm Systems has accused the county government of refusing to pay the amount as ordered by court.

The amount is inclusive of costs of the suit and interest at court rates. The Principal amount stands at Ksh6.4 million. Pada Security and Alarm Systems took the county to court in March 23, 2016.

Chief Magistrate Edna Nyaloti on September 19, 2016, at the Milimani Law Courts ordered the Kirinyaga County to pay Pada Security and Alarm Systems Ksh6.6 million.

However, the Kirinyaga County on Wednesday moved to court to challenge the decree and pleaded for more time to prepare for the case. The county was given about 14 days to prepare for the case.
