| Peter Makau Musyoka & 19 others (Mui Coal Basin Local Community) vs Permanent Secretary Ministry of Energy & 14 others [2014] eKLR | Decided | Public participation, coal exploration at the Mui Basin in Kitui County | This matter relates to two Constitutional Petitions respecting the prospecting for and extraction of coal deposits in the Mui Basin in Kitui County. The first Petition was initially brought by six members of the Mui Coal Basin Land Community on their own behalf and that of other members of the Mui Community. The petitioners sought relief the Community they represent based on five main grounds including Alleged contravention of Article 10 of the Constitution in the award of the tender to explore, exploit, or develop the Mui Coal Basin Blocks C and D. They alleged that the award was done in secrecy, and in a manner devoid of public participation as envisaged in the Constitution. The court found that the public participation program designed for the Coal Mining Project met the threshold for purposes of public participation subject to continuing engagement with the public. It also noted the difficulty is assessing whether there was adequate public participation. | Link |
