The High Court in Nairobi has declined to certify as urgent a petition challenging fuel price increases announced by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA).
Justice Roselyne Aburili declined without elaboration and directed that petitioner Francis Awino, national convener of grassroots economic justice movement Mtetezi, serve all respondents before inter partes directions on June 2.
“I decline to certify it as urgent and direct the petitioner to serve all the respondents forthwith with the petition and the notice of motion for inter partes directions on 2/6/2026,” reads the court order.
The petition challenges revised maximum retail petroleum prices set by EPRA for the May 15 to June 14, 2026 pricing cycle.
