The court held that the Kenya Medical Laboratory Technicians and Technologists Board possesses clear statutory authority to license and regulate all medical laboratories, including those operated within licensed private hospitals, as established by the Medical Laboratory Technicians and Technologists Act and affirmed by prior High Court decisions. The Board's regulatory powers extend to inspection, licensing, and enforcement actions, including closure of non-compliant laboratories. The Director of Public Prosecutions acted within constitutional and statutory powers in prosecuting the 2nd Petitioner, as the charges were based on existing legal provisions and there was no evidence of abuse of process or lack of legal foundation. The Petitioners failed to prove that the 1st Respondent's seizure and alleged study of patient records resulted in a breach of privacy or dignity, as no substantive evidence or supporting testimony was provided. The closure notice issued by the 1st Respondent was found to be lawful, reasonable, and procedurally fair, given the Petitioners' persistent non-compliance and the public health interest. However, the Board was estopped from levying fees in the absence of a defined laboratory classification system, pursuant to a prior court order. All other claims, including for damages and refunds, were dismissed for lack of proof. The Petition was therefore dismissed with costs to the 1st Respondent.
