The High Court has extended conservatory orders stopping Nairobi City County from proceeding with the award of a multi billion shilling waste management tender to a Ghanaian company.
The matter came up on April 16, 2026 before Justice Moses Ado, where the petitioner successfully applied for an extension of the interim orders.
Lawyer Henry Kurauka, appearing for the petitioner, requested the court to extend the conservatory orders pending the determination of a preliminary objection filed in the case.
The court allowed the application and directed that the interim conservatory orders remain in force, effectively preventing the Nairobi County Government from awarding or proceeding with the contested tender.
During the proceedings, the court further directed the parties to file written submissions within seven days addressing the issues raised in the preliminary objection.
The case will be mentioned again on April 27, 2026, when Justice Moses Ado is expected to give directions and indicate a date for the ruling.
The extension of the conservatory orders means the disputed waste management procurement process will remain suspended until the court determines the preliminary issues raised in the petition.
