Kenya’s High Court just threw a spanner in Parliament’s works, halting their rush to sneak billions into the Constitution. MPs wanted funds locked in forever—judges said “not so fast.”
The drama centers on the NG-CDF, Senate Oversight Fund, and NG-AAF—three money pots MPs tried to cement into the supreme law. But Justice Lawrence Mugambi ruled that public interest demanded a stop before the Constitution got “mutilated.”
Lobby groups cried foul, pointing out the CDF has already been declared illegal multiple times. Critics say Parliament skipped the basics—like passing a referendum law—before attempting a constitutional makeover.
With the Bill now in limbo, Kenyans watch as lawmakers fume and courts flex. For now, Ruto’s signature stays far away from the controversial cash vault Bill.
