Lady Justice Wendy Kagendo Micheni issued interim conservatory orders on September 16, 2026, temporarily halting criminal investigations and enforcement actions against Power Parts (Kenya) Limited in connection with a dispute over five Kalmar empty container handlers valued at Sh195 million. The Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) filed the complaint, accusing Power Parts of diverting and selling the machines to another port in a neighboring country despite having already received payment.
The court ordered the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and other respondents to refrain from arresting, summoning, detaining, charging, arraigning or prosecuting Power Parts, its directors, officers, employees or agents related to the complaint. The court also directed that the complaint lodged by KPA on September 1 and the DCI's decision to commence investigations on September 2 be suspended pending a hearing on October 5, 2026.
