Gov't yet to produce proof of cancelation of Adani energy deal

When the matter came up for mention before Justice Bahati Mwamuye on Tuesday, the court was informed that the required proof of cancellation had not yet been filed. The respondents requested additional time to submit their responses.

“The respondents, particularly the first respondent, are granted a final opportunity to file and serve their responses to the application and petition. They must do so by 1 August this year,” the court directed.

Justice Mwamuye further noted that if the state, through the Attorney General, fails to file the required documentation by the deadline, the case will proceed to a full hearing.

The matter is scheduled to be mentioned again on October 27, 2025, when directions on the joinder of parties will also be issued.

In November 2024, President William Ruto ordered the Ministries of Transport and Energy to cancel the JKIA and KETRACO deals with the Adani Group.

The High Court had earlier issued a conservatory order suspending the implementation of the agreement.

The case was brought to court by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), which argued that the deal lacked proper public participation and due diligence, potentially violating constitutional requirements for transparency, accountability, and fiscal responsibility.
