Thursday, January 29, 2026 - Prof. Makau Mutua, David Ndii, Monica Juma, and 18 other advisers to President William Ruto have filed an urgent application in court seeking to suspend a ruling that declared their offices unconstitutional. The court further issued a permanent injunction restraining the Attorney General, PSC, and their agents from recognising or effecting payments to the advisers. Through a certificate of urgency filed on January 27th, the advisers now seek to halt implementation of the judgment until their appeal is heard. The advisers emphasise that they perform specialised roles in national security, economic policy, intergovernmental coordination and constitutional affairs. They further request a limited stay of execution for 180 days, or such period as the court may deem fit, to allow them to lodge and pursue their appeal before the Court of Appeal.
