A contract dispute pitting a Mombasa maize miller against the countrys dominant bulk grain handler has been postponed again, extending a case that has lingered in court for nearly six years and keeping fresh attention on an industry long tied to businessman Mohammed Jaffer.
Mombasa Maize Millers is suing Grain Bulk Handlers Limited, also known as Bulkstream Ltd, over an alleged breach of contract involving grain supplies valued at more than 703,000, about Ksh90 million. The grain handling company is associated with Jaffer, a well known figure in Mombasas port linked businesses.
The matter had been scheduled for hearing Tuesday before the High Court in Mombasa. It did not proceed after both sides told the court they were not ready to call witnesses.
