Top officials of the Kenya Railways Corporation and China Bridge Corporation now risk six months in jail for building the railway line through the Nairobi National park. There are at least four cases touching the construction of phase 2A, one before the National Environment Tribunal and three in the Environment and Lands Court. It also emerged that Parliament allegedly sneaked in a law to derail tribunal orders through the Prevention of Torture Act 2017. In a reply dated February 5, 2018, China Road claimed there were no orders issued by the tribunal. It also argued that the tribunal orders could not be enforced as there were two appeals filed in the Environment and Lands Court by Kenya Railways challenging them.
