The Court of Appeal has temporarily suspended the enforcement of a ruling that requires Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika and the head of the water agency to pay Sh2 million for violating a court order regarding the disposal of waste into Lake Nakuru.
This ruling followed a consent agreement between Baboon Project Kenya, a non-governmental organization, and Nakuru Water and Sanitation Services Company Limited.
Lawyers Kipkoech Ng'etich and Kiprotich Kirui addressed Judges Mohamed Warsame, Mwaniki Gachoka, and John Mativo, reaching an agreement that the status quo would be maintained pending the hearing and determination of an intended appeal.
Kipkoech, representing the Managing Director of the water agency, James Ng'ang'a, explained that maintaining the status quo means that no solid waste would be disposed of in the lake, while the contempt ruling would be stayed.
