Holding

The appeal is dismissed.

Facts

Justus Musabe Misiani and Fredrick Muthi Mbuthia are objectors to the issuance of a license to Super Metro Limited, which is licensed by the National Transport and Safety Authority to operate public service vehicles. Justus and Fredrick argue that the licensing decision created unfair competition to an already crowded route and did not involve the operators of Ngong Nairobi route.

Issues

  1. Whether the decision to license Super Metro Limited was in accordance with the Fair Administrative Action Act
  2. Whether the decision to license Super Metro Limited involved public participation as required by the Act

Reasoning

The case before the Chief Magistrate's Court is similar to the one before the Transport Licensing Appeals Board, and continuing the proceedings would render the matter sub judice.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed

Orders

  • The appeal is dismissed.

Authorities cited

Legislation (2)
  • Fair Administrative Action Act
  • National Transport and Safety Authority Act No. 33 of 2012
