In a landmark ruling, the High Court has invalidated the controversial decision made by the Nairobi County government to rename Dik Dik Road after prominent trade unionist Francis Atwoli. The decision, which had drawn both support and criticism, sparked a legal battle that has now culminated in this significant judgment.
The court found that the renaming of the road had not followed proper legal procedures and lacked public participation, a crucial element in such matters. Justice Maria Okello, presiding over the case, stated that public input must be considered in such decisions to ensure transparency and fairness.
This ruling has reignited discussions about the power of local authorities in making such changes and the importance of adhering to legal processes. It remains to be seen whether the county government will appeal the decision or if a new name will be proposed for the road, marking a potential end to this contentious issue.
