' 1. This ruling determines the Chamber Summons Application dated 28th August, 2025 seeking recognition and enforcement of the Award dated 8th November 2024 and the further award published on 17th June 2025. The same is not opposed and return of service is available on the court record.
2. Section 36 of the Act provides as follows:
Recognition and enforcement of awards
(1) A domestic arbitral award, shall be recognized as binding and, upon
application in writing to the High Court, shall be enforced subject to this section
and section 37.
(2) An international arbitration award shall be recognised as binding and
enforced in accordance to the provisions of the New York Convention or any other
convention to which Kenya is signatory and relating to arbitral awards.
(3) Unless the High Court otherwise orders, the party relying on an arbitral
award or applying for its enforcement must furnish—
(a) the original arbitral award or a duly certified copy of it; and
(b) the original arbitration agreement or a duly certified copy of it.
(4) If the arbitral award or arbitration agreement is not made in the English
language, the party shall furnish a duly certified translation of it into the English
language.
3. Looking at the record, I see that a certified copy of the Award is found at pages 44 to 66 of the Applicant’s supporting affidavit. Further, a certified copy of the contract between the parties, containing the arbitration agreement is found at pages 36 to 40 both at annexure 1 of the supporting affidavit. The documentation does not require translation. I am therefore satisfied that the above requirements have been met.
4. Based on the reasons set out above, I am satisfied that the Application dated 28th August 2025 ought to be, and is hereby allowed as prayed for.
5. Accordingly, the arbitral award dated Award dated 8th November 2024 and the further award published on 17th June 2025 is hereby recognised, adopted, and enforced as a decree of this Honourable Court.
6. The file is marked as closed.
