The High Court is set to hear a petition seeking to stop plans to build a Ksh1.2 billion church at State House on July 24, 2025.
This comes after a certifying petition by advocate Levy Munyeri, who has been directed by the court to file the petition to be filed physically within three days and responses in seven days.
The petition presented to the court wants an order to immediately suspend the exercise.
“In Constitutional No. HCCHRPET/E421,2025, the High Court has certified my application seeking to stop the construction of the mega church at State House, Nairobi. Further directions are slated for 24th July 2025”, the advocate said in statement.
Munyeri had argued that the exercise being undertaken by the President was a violation of the Constitution and, as such, was shrouded in secrecy.
He also told the court that, despite State House being public property, no proper public participation was done, with parliament bypassed in making the decision.
The advocate further asked the court to issue conservatory orders, halting the construction.
