The petition filed by the Kenya Human Rights Commission and veteran singer-cum presidential hopeful Reuben Kigame claims that the law violates fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution. The Kenya Human Rights Commission and Reuben Kigame also accuse Parliament of procedural irregularity, arguing that the Bill should have been treated as one concerning counties under Article 110 of the Constitution. Additionally, the petitioners claim the National Assembly failed to refer the Bill to the Senate, making its passage unconstitutional. The petition further states that the law is indefinite in terms of legal standards, thus allowing room for arbitrary application. The Kenya Human Rights Commission and Reuben Kigame now seek a permanent injunction preventing the enforcement of the contested provisions, until the court reaches a determination.
