The High Court in Nairobi has dismissed a petition that alleged ethnic bias and unconstitutional board appointments at the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company Limited (KETRACO).

• The case was struck out due to fundamental legal flaws, specifically the incapacity of the advocate who filed the petition, as they were a public officer at the time, violating the Advocates Act.
• The petition was filed by Benjamin Okumu and alleged "deliberate and systematic ethnicization" within KETRACO's leadership.
• The court ruled on March 18 and stated the defect was "fatally incurable," though the petitioner can file a fresh case complying with legal requirements.
