Judiciary Spokesperson Paul Ndemo/ JUDICIARY XThe Judiciary has clarified the circumstances surrounding the early delivery of the Court of Appeal ruling, which relates to the stay of execution of the High Court judgment that had declared the appointment of Presidential Advisors unconstitutional. According to a statement issued by the Judiciary, the Court of Appeal had heard the Attorney General’s application for a stay of the High Court ruling on February 23, 2026. Ndemo further explained that on March 12, 2026, the Registrar of the Court of Appeal emailed a Notice of Delivery of Ruling to counsel representing all parties in the case. The early delivery of the ruling had prompted the Katiba Institute to post a statement on social media expressing surprise at the decision. The statement described the development as “a shock” and noted that they had yet to receive a copy of the ruling directly from the Court of Appeal.
