Mombasa-based businessman Mohamed Jaffer is once again at the center of a legal dispute as Ugandan importer Pan Afric Commodities Ltd moves to court against his company, Bulkstream Limited, over wheat shipments held at the port of Mombasa.
Wheat dispute pits Pan Afric against Bulkstream
The case stems from what the importer describes as a prolonged delay in the release of its cargo. Pan Afric Commodities says Bulkstream has withheld 1,514 tonnes of wheat imported from Ukraine, despite repeated demands for its release. Consequently, the firm has filed a suit seeking the immediate handover of the consignment.
