The hearing of a petition challenging the proposed leasing of JKIA to Indian conglomerate Adani Group will commence on December 17, 2024.
The petition will be heard before three Judge Bench consisting of Justices Jairus Ngaah, Moses Ado and Lucy Njuguna.
The bench has also listed the same date for hearing a preliminary objection by some of the parties, which cites a lack of jurisdiction by the High Court to hear the matter.
The case was filed before Justice John Chigiti who issued an order prohibiting any person from implementing or acting on the privately initiated Adani proposal over JKIA pending the hearing and determination of the matter.
However, the Executive through the Attorney General has since filed an application seeking to have those orders set aside.
Treasury, Cabinet Transport Davis Chirchir, Attorney General, Public Private Partnership Directorate, and public-private partnership committee have since filed a preliminary objection to the case.
They say the court has no jurisdiction to hear and determine the matter.
