The High Court was on Thursday forced to adjourn its hearing of a case involving Adani Group Limited after Kenyans stormed the virtual courtroom, disrupting the session.
Several Kenyans reportedly sneaked into the virtual court proceedings after accessing details of the online court session and began shouting “Adani Must Go! JKIA is not for sale,” prompting the judge to intervene.
Despite Justice Mwamunye’s efforts to call the session into order, his efforts hit the rocks, forcing him to halt the proceedings. The judge announced that an appropriate time to reconvene would be announced in due course.
“I understand your protests and I am unable to deliver this judgment now,” the judge said before adjourning the court session for about fifteen minutes.
Prior to the adjournment, the court had commenced its ruling on the petition filed by activist Tony Gachoka and a group of lawyers against the Ministry of Treasury and Adani Group Limited.
Tony Gachoka in his petition which he filed before the High Court alongside a group of lawyers in September this year, challenged the government’s decision to lease the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to the Indian conglomerate.
