By SAM KIPLAGAT More by this AuthorThe Court of Appeal has ruled that the construction of the standard gauge railway (SGR) failed to comply with the law. They added that the engagement of CRBC was not an obligation arising from “negotiated grant or loan” agreement for purposes of Section 6 of the Act. In a judgement in 2014, Justice Isaac Lenaola, the High Court judge, dismissed the petitions and allowed the construction to continue unhindered. The Activist and LSK moved to the Court of Appeal to challenge the decision. In the judgement Friday, the judges dismissed claims by Mr Omtatah that Parliament was by-passed and that environmental considerations were not considered have no merit.
