No Reprieve for Ruto’s 21 Advisers as Judge Rejects 6-Month Stay Request
The High Court has dismissed a bid by 21 former advisers to President William Ruto to suspend a landmark ruling that declared their offices unconstitutional. The advisers had sought to remain in office for six months to manage a transition, but the court rejected their application, describing it as legally baseless, unfounded, and barred by the doctrine of res judicata, which prevents re-litigating matters already decided. The former advisers argued that a temporary stay would ensure an orderly transition, protect their planned appeal, and prevent prejudice to the President. They also requested permission to return briefly to complete handover processes. The post No Reprieve for Ruto’s 21 Advisers as Judge Rejects 6-Month Stay Request appeared first on Nairobi Wire.
