Y’all remember Gikunda as the dude who claimed to have “bomoad” a number of women working at Radio Africa including feminist numero uno Caroline Mutoko.
Onto today’s news.
A web developer has sued Radio Africa founder and Safaricom accusing them of infringing on his intellectual rights when they entered a deal to launch a mobile application dubbed Songa by Safaricom.
Mr Evans Gikunda, a former web developer at Radio Africa, claims that he developed the application for streaming music and videos before joining the company and shared it with the firm’s CEO Patrick Quarcoo.
Mr Quarcoo allegedly proposed a partnership deal with Mr Gikunda for ownership of the new application, through a separate holding company.
But he says after he left the company, Mr Quarcoo sold the right of ownership of the application to Safaricom without involving Mr Gikunda.
He is asking for general damages and orders compelling Radio Africa and Safaricom to reveal how much they have so far made from user subscription to the application.
Unfortunately, he can’t beat the lawyers of both corporations. Atajua mnyonge hana haki.
The best he will get out of his tantrums is a lengthy court case. By the time he’s done, he’ll curse the day he came up with that innovation.
