Really? 1. High Court has just suspended airing of the advert not banned its airing indefinitely. Pending the hearing of the case. 2. Unilever have a good case IMHO. It's not 'other products' as you guys are putting it but 'sabuni inayotumika zaidi' =OMO!! After using both products, I think the ad is an accurate depiction. But still, I'd have thought that this is matter that could have been arbitrated by some other entity, say, MSK. The high court is too busy with more important matters than marketing rivalry! In my house Ariel is king...I stopped buying OMO ages ago! Ariel is better.. Soo true though, that MSK or Consumer Protection Society of Kenya, not certain of exact name, would be good intermediaries. The High Court is too high!
