Transport Secretary James Macharia had ordered that the goods be transported via the SGR to Naivasha Inland Container Depot from the Port of Mombasa for clearance.
Lady Justice Pauline Nyamweya issued the temporary order which effectively stops the directive issued by Mr Macharia last month in a notice on social media platforms requiring that goods headed to Uganda, Rwanda and South Sudan to be transported via SGR to the Naivasha Inland Container Depot.
Later on, however, a section of leaders from the Coast abandoned Mr Ali and disregarded his motion in parliament to oust the Transport CS claiming they had already met with Mr Macharia and resolved contentious issues affecting Coast people.
“We as Coast MPs, had a meeting on Tuesday encompassing 30 leaders from all constituencies and we met CS Macharia in his office and the most important topic regards the issue of SGR,”said Kisauni MP Ali Mbogo who spoke on behalf of the fellow lawmakers.
Ken Trade chairman Suleiman Shahbal called on President Uhuru Kenyatta to hold a meeting with Coast leaders and other sector players to find a lasting solution to the issue.
