The High Court in Nairobi has ruled parts of the Public Benefit Organizations (PBO) Act, 2013 unconstitutional, protecting the rights of non-governmental organizations.
- The Court struck down provisions requiring NGOs to reapply for registration and mandated disclosures of personal data.
- Key figures include civil society leaders David Calleb Otieno, Suba Churchill, and Timothy Odhiambo Mwololo.
- The ruling emphasized that the fresh registration requirement unjustly limits the freedom of association and infringes on individual privacy rights.
