The Supreme Court has temporarily stopped the construction of a second grain bulk handling facility at the port of Mombasa, which had been granted to firms linked to Mining Cabinet Secretary nominee and former Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho.
The apex court presided by Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu ruled that public interest lies in stopping the construction, pending the determination of the appeal filed by Dock Workers Union and Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah.
