RULING ON AN APPLICATION FOR LEAVE TO APPLY FOR JUDICIAL REVIEW ORDERS
The Chamber Summons dated 15 th November 2025 seeks leave of this court to allow the 555 Applicants, all suing as former members of Telposta Pension Scheme and Provident Fund, to apply for Judicial Review orders challenging the decision of the 1 st Respondent made on 2/10/2025 in RBAT Appeal No.7/2011 – Boniface Mariga & 948 Others vs Retirement Benefits Authority & Another.
The application is predicated on several grounds on the face of the chamber summons supported by a statutory statement and the verifying affidavit sworn by Boniface Mariga, the 58 th Applicant. The applicants also annexed several documents in support of the chamber summons.
The applicants are aggrieved by the decision of the RBAT dated 2/10/2025 dismissing their appeal and upholding the 1 st Respondent’s decision/directions dated 3/10/2012. A perusal of the application reveals that the intended motion is not frivolous or hopeless. The applicants raise issues which this court is being called upon to inquire into at the substantive stage, which issues affect their rights as former employees of Telkom (K) Ltd and members of a Pension Scheme and Provident Fund administered by the 1 st Interested Party.
Without delving into the merits of the intended application, I am satisfied that the application as intended is arguable. Being arguable does not mean that it will succeed but that the applicants should be accorded an opportunity to ventilate their grievances in accordance with Article 50(1) of the Constitution.
Accordingly, I grant leave to the 555 applicants herein to apply for the Judicial Review orders sought in their chamber summons dated 16/11/2025. The substantive Notice of Motion to be filed and served upon all the Respondents and Interested Parties within 21 days of today.
The substantive motion shall be filed in a fresh Judicial Review file. The applicant is not expected to reproduce the statutory statement and verifying affidavit or annextures. Order 53 Rules 3 and 4 contemplate a Notice of Motion and the applicant once granted leave, will file and serve upon the adverse parties the Notice of Motion and all documents filed in support of the chamber summons for leave, which the Court will also rely on in the substantive motion.
Costs if any shall be in the substantive motion.
This file is closed.
Dated, Signed and Delivered at Nairobi this 24 th Day of November, 2025

RULING ON AN APPLICATION FOR LEAVE TO APPLY FOR JUDICIAL REVIEW ORDERS
The Chamber Summons dated 15 th November 2025 seeks leave of this court to allow the 555 Applicants, all suing as former members of Telposta Pension Scheme and Provident Fund, to apply for Judicial Review orders challenging the decision of the 1 st Respondent made on 2/10/2025 in RBAT Appeal No.7/2011 – Boniface Mariga & 948 Others vs Retirement Benefits Authority & Another.
The application is predicated on several grounds on the face of the chamber summons supported by a statutory statement and the verifying affidavit sworn by Boniface Mariga, the 58 th Applicant. The applicants also annexed several documents in support of the chamber summons.
The applicants are aggrieved by the decision of the RBAT dated 2/10/2025 dismissing their appeal and upholding the 1 st Respondent’s decision/directions dated 3/10/2012. A perusal of the application reveals that the intended motion is not frivolous or hopeless. The applicants raise issues which this court is being called upon to inquire into at the substantive stage, which issues affect their rights as former employees of Telkom (K) Ltd and members of a Pension Scheme and Provident Fund administered by the 1 st Interested Party.
Without delving into the merits of the intended application, I am satisfied that the application as intended is arguable. Being arguable does not mean that it will succeed but that the applicants should be accorded an opportunity to ventilate their grievances in accordance with Article 50(1) of the Constitution.
Accordingly, I grant leave to the 555 applicants herein to apply for the Judicial Review orders sought in their chamber summons dated 16/11/2025. The substantive Notice of Motion to be filed and served upon all the Respondents and Interested Parties within 21 days of today.
The substantive motion shall be filed in a fresh Judicial Review file. The applicant is not expected to reproduce the statutory statement and verifying affidavit or annextures. Order 53 Rules 3 and 4 contemplate a Notice of Motion and the applicant once granted leave, will file and serve upon the adverse parties the Notice of Motion and all documents filed in support of the chamber summons for leave, which the Court will also rely on in the substantive motion.
Costs if any shall be in the substantive motion.
This file is closed.
Dated, Signed and Delivered at Nairobi this 24 th Day of November, 2025
