What you need to know:

  • Justice Gacheru ruled that the lower court fell in error by attempting to deal with disputes concerning development permissions when the Physical Planning Act has already provided how such disputes should be handled.

The Sh240 billion Tatu City project has received a boost after the Environment and Lands in Thika quashed an order that restrained Kiambu County government from approving the developer's building plans for six land parcels.

Justice Lucy Gacheru found that the interim order issued by Kiambu senior principal magistrate on October 31, 2017 was inappropriate as the lower court acted in excess of its jurisdiction.
