The Court of Appeal has thrown out an application by two granddaughters of former freedom fighter Fredrick Polwarth Kubai.
In an escalation of a 25-year court case which now turns to be a third-generation duel, Appeal Court judges Hannah Okwengu, Asike Makhandia, and Patrick Kiage unanimously agreed that Mary Sidi Mendza and Jane Njeri Njeru cannot join the case filed by their late father Moses Mendza Kubai against Christina Gakuhi Kubai.
The appeal had been filed by Mendza and Kubai’s grandson Andrew Kamau. However, Mendza died on June 6, last year, leaving his two children to take up the fight.

Why motorists failed to access diesel subsidy
Tuesday February 16 2021
By JOHN MUTUA
Summary
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) said that the regulations to manage the subsidy were not yet ready despite the State having collected at least Sh10 billion from motorists since July.
During the Sunday review, diesel prices in Nairobi rose by Sh5.51 a litre to Sh101.91 the highest since February last year.
Petrol rose Sh8.09 to Sh115.18 per litre, the highest mark since July 2019, putting pressure on transport costs and inflation.
A legal hitch has denied motorists a fuel subsidy following the sharp rise in petrol and diesel costs despite the State collecting more than Sh10 billion from homes and business to stabilise prices.
