Businessman Tony Gachoka and nine other petitioners have written to the President of the Court of Appeal to question the unusual alteration and fast-tracking of a State application concerning the proposed sale of Safaricom shares.

• The petitioners were initially notified of a hearing for June 29, but this was abruptly changed multiple times, eventually being set for June 18.
• Key parties include businessman Tony Gachoka, the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning, and five others.
• The petitioners are concerned about the reasons for the date changes, the criteria for fast-tracking the application, and the absence of a case management conference, fearing potential breaches of fair administrative action and the right to a fair hearing.
