Wednesday, December
10, 2025 - Renowned media personality, Willis Raburu, has taken legal
action against two companies, seeking Ksh.10 million over an alleged
breach of contract linked to the Furaha City Festival held in
December 2024.
In a suit filed before the High Court in Nairobi, Raburu, through
his company Steizon Limited, accuses an events firm and a
leading alcoholic beverages company of failing to honour a multi-million
shilling promotional and event management deal.
Court documents reveal that Steizon Limited was contracted
on December
6th, 2024,
to deliver digital promotion, branding, influencer marketing, logistics, and
full event coordination for the festival scheduled the following day.
The agreed fee was Ksh.10 million, exclusive of VAT.
Represented by lawyers Danstan Omari and Martina
Swiga, Raburu argues that although the events company did not
physically sign the contract, the agreement remains valid since both defendants
proceeded with its implementation through correspondence and execution.
Raburu’s team reportedly delivered extensively - producing
over 60
promotional reels,
more than 100 static posts, achieving a social media reach of
over one
million users, and overseeing influencers, security, media and
logistics for the event.
Despite this, the defendants allegedly failed to pay,
leaving his firm in financial distress.
Raburu told the court the non-payment has caused serious
losses, stalled projects, strained supplier relationships, and damaged his
professional reputation.
He is now seeking declarations that the contract is binding,
that the defendants owe him Ksh.10 million, and orders for immediate payment
with interest, damages for reputational harm, suspension of one defendant’s
operating license, and costs of the suit.
