APPLICANT AND THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBER FOR FINANCE AND ECONOMIC PLANNING NAIROBI CITY COUNTY ............. 1ST RESPONDENT NAIROBI CITY COUNTY .......................................................... 2ND RESPONDENT RULING 1. The application herein is dated 6/3/2026. The citation reads “ In the Environment and Land Court at Nairobi.” However, the Applicant mistakenly filed the matter in the High Court Judicial Review Division. That was in error and counsel for the applicant acknowledges that their Clerk filed the matter in a wrong court. 2. In the premises, as this court cannot hear and determine a matter which ought to have been filed, heard and determined before the Environment and Land Court and by dint of Article 165(5) (b) of the Constitution, I decline jurisdiction and strike out the application dated 6/3/2026 with no orders as to costs. 3. This file is closed. DATED, SIGNED & DELIVERED VIRTUALLY AT NAIROBI THIS 9TH DAY OF MARCH, 2026. R. E. ABURILI https://new.kenyalaw.org/akn/ke/judgment/kehc/2026/3167/eng@2026-03-09 1
