The Rongo Principal Magistrate R. K. Lagat declared that the defendant namely, the management of Kodero-Bara Secondary School breached contractual agreement and should pay the plaintiff outstanding balance for goods supplied to the defendant while the cost of the suit was awarded to the plaintiff and that all shall attract interests at court rates from the date of judgment until payment is settled in full.
The school will therefore pay the businessman who supplied goods to the school as per contractual agreement signed and was produced in court by the supplier’s lawyer.
