The High Court has suspended the government’s move to grant nine macadamia dealers exclusive rights to export raw nuts, pending the determination of a case filed by a farmer.

Joseph Ndung’u challenged the decision by Agriculture Cabinet secretary Mithika Linturi, arguing that the move to grant exclusive rights to unlicensed dealers to export in-shell macadamia nuts within nine days after the lifting of the ban, is illegal.
