A judge rejected Roko Construction Company's request to stop a court order that forces them to pay over 1.5 billion shillings to Pramukh Steel Limited. Justice Ginamia Melody Ngwatu said Roko failed to meet legal requirements for delaying the payment. The company could not prove they would face serious harm if forced to pay right away. Roko also failed to show that Pramukh lacked money to return funds if an appeal worked. The judge dismissed the case and ordered Roko to pay court costs.

Pramukh Steel sued Roko back during 2020 to recover nearly 400,000 dollars for construction materials. The court learned that Roko paid just 51,671 dollars from a total bill of 450,850 dollars. Justice Cornelia Sabiiti Kakooza ruled for Pramukh during 2024 and ordered Roko to pay the balance with 10 percent annual interest. Roko tried to block enforcement through a stay application. The company claimed their appeal had strong chances and they would lose significant money.

Justice Ngwatu found major problems with Roko's legal filing and said they never attached their appeal documents or proof of requesting court records. The judge could not determine if their appeal might succeed without seeing the actual paperwork. Pramukh can collect their awarded money from Roko right away.
