David Kanyi, the father of Starehe MP, has finally been rewarded after close to 10 years of fighting for his right in the corridors of justice.
Mr. Kanyi sued Nyeri Water and Sewerage Company after he fell and broke his leg in a manhole owned by the water company on October 1st 2008.
Jaguar’s father spent two weeks admitted at the Nyeri General Hospital after he fell and broke his leg. He was rescued from the manhole by a passersby who took him to Mathari hospital before he was transferred to Nyeri General Hospital.
The court moved to the scene of the accident and found that the said manhole was yet to be covered during the hearing of the case.
Nation reports that the magistrate noted that the manhole was at the edge of the road, approximately two and a half metres from the road, and next to a four-feet deep trench.
The discovery made by the court was a major determining factor that made the magistrate to rule in favor of Jaguar’s father. The court ordered Nyeri Water and Sewerage Company to pay Mr. Kanyi Kes 672,000.
