Cytonn Investments Management Plc says it will appeal against the High Court directive that dismissed their petition that sought to challenge the Capital Markets Authority directive limiting their projects under its asset managers unit to 10 percent.
Cytonn CEO Edwin Dande alleges that the ruling that was delivered in favor of CMA, “The learned judge misdirected himself in law and misapprehended the facts.”
As per Mr. Dande, they have already filed a notice of appeal.
@MwangoCapital , the learned judge misdirected himself in law and misapprehended the facts. We are playing for the long haul and posterity. We have already filed a notice of appeal, the appeal is being prepared and we shall challenge the decision in the Court of Appeal. 💪🏽
