The High Court has issued orders halting the implementation of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) deal with the Adani Group.
In a ruling on Monday, September 9, 2024, Justice J Chigiti barred the government from implementing the deal until the case filed by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) was heard and determined.
“The application dated 9.9.24 is hereby certified as urgent and the same is admitted for hearing during the court recess. Prayer 2 is granted as prayed. The leave so granted shall operate as stay in line with prayer 3,” Justice Chigiti ruled.
“The applicant shall file and serve the substantive application within 3 days. The respondents and the interested parties shall thereafter file and serve their respective responses if any 5 days of service. The Applicant shall thereafter file and serve its submissions within 3 days thereafter. The Respondents and the interested parties shall thereafter file and serve their respective submissions within 3 days of service.”
The matter shall be mentioned on October 8, 2024, to secure a judgment date.
