SportPesa has welcomed a ruling from the High Court of Justice in the United Kingdom, which found no substance to a legal claim filed by former director Paul Wanderi Ndung’u against the company, its subsidiaries, and its leadership.

The judgment, Ndung’u v SPG Limited – CR-2022-000135, which was handed down on 18 November 2025 by Mr Justice Edwin Johnson, found no evidence of SportPesa fraudulently diluting Mr. Ndung’u’s shareholding through fraud, forgery or any other corporate governance means.

Responding to the UK High Court decision, the Directors of SportPesa said:

“We are delighted with this decision. The UK High Court found that the allegations made against us had no substance. We always knew that we acted legally and properly at all times, and this judgment confirms that.

“In a 190-page judgment, the UK High Court found no evidence of the allegations made against SportPesa. We are looking forward to putting this behind us and focusing on our future growth and expansion.”
