A Kenyan court has frozen a Sh97.9 million payout to a former Little Cab manager, Ronald Mahondo, pending an appeal by Craft Silicon and its subsidiary.

• The frozen payout represents a significant award in a dispute over a promised equity stake in the ride-hailing company.
• The key evidence in the original case involved secretly recorded conversations where Mahondo claimed the CEO of Craft Silicon acknowledged the promised shareholding.
• Craft Silicon argued that immediate payment would substantially affect their finances and operations, potentially causing disruptions to payroll, supplier payments, and job losses.
