Muthoni v Africa International University
Preliminary objection dismissed; enforcement of the ODPC determination held in abeyance pending the respondent's appeal. High Court, 16 February 2026.
The facts
Dennis Mbogoro Muthoni applied to the High Court to adopt and enforce, as a court order, an ODPC determination in his favour ordering Africa International University to pay him KES 250,000 for unlawful use of his image in its publications. The University had separately appealed the underlying determination (Nairobi HCCA No. E851 of 2025) and raised a preliminary objection disputing the court's jurisdiction to enforce ODPC compensation awards at all.
Orders and outcome
The preliminary objection dated 17 September 2025 was dismissed; the enforcement motion dated 1 September 2025 was held in abeyance pending the determination of Nairobi High Court Civil Appeal E851 of 2025; costs follow the event. Ruling of S. N. Mutuku J delivered 16 February 2026.
