Businessmen allied to the KPA have pleaded with the President Uhuru Kenyatta to intervene in a 1.9 billion row.
This is after a court in Mombasa awarded Sh1.9 billion to Modern Holdings a Tanzanian company that distributes energy drinks.
The company sued the Kenya Airports Authority for failing to clear 21 containers within the stipulated time between December 2007 and January 2008 during the post election violence.
They said six of the containers were cleared with waivers from KPA and KRA, but 15 others with contents worth Sh60 million were delayed and the contents spoil.
In their submissions, they said KPA in consultation with KRA moved the long-term stay containers to Makupa, which was illegal.
Businessmen led by Irungu Mwangi have disputed the figure, saying the figure is 32 times more than the sum of capital they had.
”It is actually fraud and the parties must have colluded," said Mwangi.
The business men have threatened to hold demonstrations in Nairobi and Mombasa in the first week of January to force the court to revise the decision.
The KPA, business allied to the company have pleaded with the president to intervene in a sh1.9 billion row that they have been ordered to pay.
