Holding
The Tribunal dismissed the matter for lack of jurisdiction.
Facts
The Appellant, Benson Ndungu Njeri, challenged the NTSA's decision not to issue him a Public Service Vehicle Badge due to outstanding remarks on his Police Clearance Certificate. He claimed he had no pending criminal charges.
Issues
- Whether the Tribunal has jurisdiction to hear the matter?
- Whether the Appellant has proved that the matter presented was ripe and moot to be heard by the tribunal?
Reasoning
The Appellant did not make an application to the Respondent Authority, hence no decision was made by NTSA. The Tribunal cannot adjudicate such matter because it is beyond the scope of its mandate.
