Kenya: Uber Seeks to Resolve Dispute With Kenyan Drivers Out of Court

Uber has opted for arbitration to solve a dispute it has with drivers in Kenya over the reduction of commuter fares.

The ride-hailing firm asked Kenya's Supreme Court, in an application, to allow it to solve its issues with the drivers through channels agreed upon in contracts, while stating that it was "improper" for its partners to seek legal redress without going through the established dispute-resolution mechanisms.
