High Court Halts NG-CDF Bill, Extends Orders on Gov. Wamatangi's Arrest as Orwoba Withdraws Petition - September 2025

The High Court has halted the progression of the Constitution (Amendment) Bill, 2025, which aimed to enshrine the NG-CDF kitty into the Constitution, preventing it from being sent to President William Ruto for assent. Separately, the High Court extended orders preventing the EACC and DPP from arresting or prosecuting Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi over graft allegations until October 8, 2025. In another legal development, former nominated UDA Senator Gloria Orwoba withdrew her petition at the Milimani Constitutional and Human Rights Division, which challenged her removal from the Senate. Her lawyer informed Justice Chacha Mwita of the withdrawal, leading to the case's closure.
