“The decision of the respondent was irrational and unreasonable as it made a finding that was outrageous in its defiance of logic,” Mr Roger Sagana, the lawyer for the company said.
He added that the tender concerned oversight on a Chinese company which got the tender to build the railway but the firm to supervise it was also Chinese.
The firm’s director, Mr Lomberto Menegatti, said Kenya Railways Corporation wrote to his company on June 5 informing it of the tender being given to another firm, prompting him to ask for a review.
He said his request was opposed by KRC. The hearing continues.
