The High Court has issued conservatory orders barring the National Assembly from forwarding the Constitution (Amendment) Bill, 2025, that sought to entrench the NG-CDF kitty into the Constitution, to President William Ruto for assent.
In a ruling issued on Thursday, September 18, Justice Lawrence Mugambi stopped the ascension to law of the Bill, pending the determination of the case.
The court also ordered that even if consent is granted, it won’t be effective until the petition is decided.
The court further directed Chief Justice Martha Koome to form an uneven panel of judges to consider the petition submitted by the Katiba Institute.
