The High Court has ordered Nairobi County and the other respondents to file their responses in a case challenging the legality of ongoing cabro paving, walkway installation and related public works in Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD). The court also instructed activist Francis Awino to serve the respondents with the application within seven days. In directions issued on August 3, the court declined to certify the case as urgent. It also directed that Awino’s application for leave to begin judicial review proceedings, along with his request for stay orders, be heard inter partes. Awino asked the court to issue judicial review orders of certiorari, prohibition, mandamus, and a stay.
