A constitutional petition has been filed in the High Court to block the privatization of the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC), arguing it violates the Constitution. Petitioners are calling for a three-judge bench to hear the case due to its significant national implications.

• Petitioners include activists Okiya Omtatah Okoiti, Bernard Muchiri Muchere, and Naomi Nyakerario Misati.
• The petition names the National Executive, Attorney General, Parliament, Privatisation Authority, KPC Board, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as respondents.
• The case questions whether the existing Privatisation Act of 2005, reinforced by the Privatisation Act of 2025, aligns with the 2010 Constitution.
• Concerns are raised regarding the legality of approving privatization via a Sessional Paper instead of an Act of Parliament.
• The petition also scrutinizes the IMF's alleged influence, suggesting privatization is driven by conditions attached to international lending, potentially violating Kenya's sovereign decision-making.
