The High Court has issued orders stopping an executive order that lifted the ban on logging. President William Ruto in June gave a directive that lifted the ban imposed on logging in 2018. But the Law Society of Kenya moved to court to challenge the directive arguing there was no public participation before the ban was lifted. As such, the lawyers' body sought orders seeking to stop the implementation of the presidential directive. Angote directed that the application and orders be served upon the parties, for a hearing on August 14, 2023.
