In the court documents, the Attorney General and Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua are listed as respondents and the Judicial Service Commission as an interested party. The LSK claims the disputed Executive order No. The lawyers’ lobby has termed the case a public interest matter and wants the High Court to urgently intervene by suspending the implementation of the Executive order. Others are the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, the Commission on Revenue Allocation, the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights as well as the National Gender and Equality Commission. According to the LSK, the May 11 Executive Order titled ‘The Organisation of Government’ can impair the independence of the Judiciary, commissions and independent offices.
