The High Court has extended orders stopping Nairobi City County government from increasing parking fees for private cars and public service vehicles (PSVs). Also suspended is the devolved unit’s decision to raise seasonal parking rates for matatus. The two lobby groups filed the cases following a notice issued by City Hall on December 2, 2019 announcing the fees’ increment. The timing of increasing parking fees is wrong and hurriedly implemented without proper and adequate notice to the public,” Cofek says in its court papers. The lawyer added that most motor vehicle owners cannot afford to pay the increased parking charges because of harsh economic reality in Kenya.
