Last month, High Court extended orders barring City Hall from increasing parking fees within the city.Justice Anthony Murima postponed the matter until May 3 after the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) was enjoined in the case.
The petition was filed by the Consumer Federation of Kenya (Cofek) and the Matatu Owners Association.
Cofek termed the county’s decision to double the parking fees as unconstitutional.

Cofek also argued that the notice issued on December 2, 2019, was too short, unreasonable, punitive and discriminatory.
