The Kenyan Court of Appeal has rejected Paul Ndung’u’s attempt to reopen a settled legal dispute over the SportPesa trademark, ruling the application had “no merit” and awarding costs to Milestone Games.
This follows a series of legal defeats for Mr Ndung’u. In November 2025, the High Court of England and Wales dismissed a separate claim he filed against SportPesa, confirming the company’s position in the UK jurisdiction.
SportPesa CEO Ronald Karauri described the ruling as a welcome closure to years of “vexatious litigation and media manipulation.”
“The court’s decision vindicates us in both Kenya and England and comes with a KSh 374 million costs award. This provides the legal certainty we need to focus on growth, community investment, and sport development,” Karauri said.
SportPesa reiterated its commitment to Kenyan sports, announcing a KSh 120 million multi-sport sponsorship spanning boxing, rugby, and rallying. The initiative aims to support athletes at all levels while strengthening the country’s sports ecosystem.
“Supporting sport remains central to who we are as a brand. We will continue investing in rugby, rally, boxing, and the Magical Kenya Open, creating opportunities from grassroots to elite levels,” Karauri added.
With the legal matter concluded, SportPesa says it is now fully focused on expanding its impact in Kenya and across Africa, reinforcing its role in nurturing sporting talent.
