The High Court has lifted a freeze on a Kenya Breweries Limited (KBL) arbitration award concerning a dispute over the construction of its Kisumu brewery, ruling that indefinite suspension undermines alternative dispute resolution.

• The court dismissed orders issued in December 2024 that had prevented the award's publication.
• KBL had argued the process was flawed, but the court stated constitutional remedies could be pursued without halting publication.
• The judge noted a prolonged delay was caused by numerous applications from KBL, Jilk Construction Company Ltd, and interested parties.
