The HIgh Court has temporarily stopped plans to excise and develop parts of Imenti Forest for the construction of a State Lodge, airstrip, golf course and related facilities.
Justice Oguttu Mboya of Meru Environment and Land Court issued the orders after certifying as urgent an application filed by petitioners Mugambi Imanyara, Charles Mutuma Mbogori and three others challenging the proposed project.
In the ruling, the judge granted interim conservatory orders preserving the forest pending further directions by the court.
