The High Court in Nairobi has ordered the government not to sell cooking oil imported into the country by the Ministry of Trade and Industry.
Justice John Chigiti ordered the government to hold on until the dispute filed by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) is heard and determined.
The judge directed the government and the lawyers’ lobby to file their submissions within the next 14 days and appear before him on July 26, 2023, for further directions.
In Parliament, Trade Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria told Senators that the oil had already been distributed.
However, in court, the Kenya National Trading Corporation (KNTC) argued that they had not started distributing the oil.
