The High Court has suspended the construction of two ferries that President Uhuru Kenyatta was expected to launch later this month. Justice Eric Ogola in a ruling temporarily restrained KFS and OZATA TERNASECILIK SAN VE TIK Limited from building the Sh2 billion ferries. Ogolla further halted any sea test or any related tests on the said ferries until the matter is heard and determined. The judge has also stopped Kenya Ferry Service from re-advertising, re-tendering or supervising the project pending hearing of the case. Gikandi said if the Kenya Ferry Service proceeded with the process, it was likely that users of the new ferries will suffer negative consequences.
