The High Court has issued orders halting the planned privatization of the Kenya Pipeline Company Limited (KPC), pending the outcome of a petition filed by the Consumers Federation of Kenya (COFEK).
Justice Bahati Mwamuye granted a conservatory order restraining the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury & Economic Planning, the Privatisation Authority, and other respondents from selling, transferring, or otherwise dealing with any shares of KPC.
The ruling effectively suspends the government’s contested privatization plan until the case is heard and determined.
The court further directed COFEK to immediately serve all respondents and interested parties with the application, petition, and court order, and to file proof of service by the close of business today.
The petition will be heard in open court on 5th Septe
