The High Court has quashed a decision by the County Government of Nairobi that renamed the Dik Dik Road after Francis Atwoli!

Central Organization of Trade Unions’ (COTU) Francis Atwoli was dealt a blow on Monday after the court quashed a decision to name a road after him.

In his ruling, Justice Anthony Mrima noted that public participation was not carried out prior to renaming the road after the fiery trade unionist.

He further pointed out that Nairobi County erred by making the decision before carrying out due diligence in the County Assembly.

“Such processes would have been carried out in parliament or in the county assembly of the Nairobi city county,” ruled Mrima.
