Transporters ask five-judge bench to stop Naivasha cargo order

Members of Kenya Transport Association want a five-judge bench, hearing a petition challenging the monopoly of Standard Gauge Railway SGR freight service on cargo transport from Mombasa port, to urgently resolve the dispute.

The bench created by the Chief Justice last year to listen to a similar petition, has not met this year because of travel restrictions imposed over the Covid-19 pandemic. Their meeting, which was set for April to hear an application against the SGR freight service, did not materialise.
