Court allows contempt charges against top transport officials

Nairobi, Kenya: The High Court has allowed an umbrella group of bus operators to file a contempt case against Transport Cabinet Secretary Michael Kamau and National Transport and Safety Authority Director General Francis Meja.

Justice George Odunga granted orders to Kenya Country Bus Association, which had petitioned the Government over a legal notice outlawing the night movement of their vehicles and new digital speed governors but were prompted to seek the court's relief when their pleas were not honoured.
