A Nairobi court has suspended the ongoing renovations, cutting of trees and any works at Uhuru Park grounds.
Justice Edward Waboto, of the Environment and Lands Court, says the order will remain in force pending the hearing and determination of a case filed by the Communist Party of Kenya.
“The court finds the project being undertaken by the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) was commissioned without an Environment Impact Assessment (EIA). No report was submitted to the environment regulator, NEMA. “
The hearing will be on February 1, 2022.
