A petition has been filed before the High Court seeking to stop the implementation of six road and drainage projects worth Sh1.8 billion in Wajir County.

The case filed by Ahmed Ibrahim is seeking interim conservatory orders blocking the award, execution, and implementation of six tenders floated by the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) over allegations of procurement irregularities, conflict of interest, and violations of procurement laws pending the hearing and determination of the petition.

In the application, Ibrahim wants the court to issue an interim order staying the implementation, execution, processing, signing, performance, and award of Tender Nos. KURA/DEV/HQ/422/2025-2026 to KURA/DEV/HQ/427/2025-2026.
