The High Court has certified as urgent a petition seeking to stop the government from migrating all digital payment systems to one platform after two petitioners challenged the directive arguing that it is unconstitutional.

Justice Hedwig Ong’udi certified the case as urgent and directed Fredrick Ogola and lawyer Benard Odero Okello to serve the court papers to CS Treasury Njuguna Ndung’u, his ICT counterpart Eliud Owalo and Attorney General Justin Muturi.
