THE High Court has temporarily stopped the balloting process of the Uhuru Business Park Complex Market in Kisumu which was schedule for today.

High Court Judge Justice Fred Ochieng said the application dated 11/011/2021 is fixed for mention this November 17.

The Court directed the Applicant which is the County Government of Kisumu to serve all the respondents and the interested parties.

The Court said until November 17 this year the status quo prevailing at the said complex shall be maintained so that the subject matter of the application remain available and intact.

“In effect, the proposed balloting and the setting up of the management board shall not be undertaken as schedule,” part of the court order date November 11, 2021.

The County Government of Kisumu is the applicant in the matter while Kisumu County Commissioner is the first respondent, Ministry of Interior and Attorney General are the second and third respondents respectively in the matter.

The Kenya Railways Corporation and the Council of Governors are first and second interested parties.

Today morning, the traders who were to benefit from the balloting process of the complex to get spaces for doing businesses were turned away and told the process has been temporarily stopped through a court order.

Kisumu Central Sub-County Deputy County Commissioner John Cheruiyot addressed the traders at the complex and told them that the balloting exercise will not take place today as scheduled until the matter in court is heard and determined.

Last week on November 4, 2021 Nyanza regional commissioner Magu Mutindika announced that the balloting process would take place today November 12, 2021 at the business park.
