The high court has been given the final chance to provide proof of the cancellation of the Ketraco tender awarded to the Adani Group as had been ordered by the court.
Justice Bahati Mwamuye issued the directives after he was informed that the required proof of cancellation had not yet been filed.
The state had requested for additional time to submit their responses which included the said proof.
“The respondents, particularly the first respondent, are granted a final opportunity to file and serve their responses to the application and petition. They must do so by 1 August this year,” the judge ruled.
Justice Mwamuye further warned that if the state, through the Attorney General, fails to file the required documentation by the deadline, the case will proceed to a full hearing.
In November last year, President William Ruto ordered the Ministries of Transport and Energy to cancel the JKIA and Ketraco deals with the Adani Group.
The High Court had earlier issued a conservatory order suspending the implementation of the agreement.
The case was brought to court by the Law Society of Kenya, which argued that the deal lacked proper public participation and due diligence, potentially violating constitutional requirements for transparency, accountability, and fiscal responsibility.
The case will be mentioned in October.
