Courts Rule on Muturi's AG Exit, Halt Gitaru Road Construction, and Hear Housing Project Petition - November 2025

The High Court dismissed a petition challenging the removal of former Attorney General Justin Muturi, ruling that he voluntarily resigned and President William Ruto lawfully appointed his successor. In a separate case, the Environment and Land Court temporarily halted construction of the road linking the Nakuru–Nairobi highway and the Western Bypass in Gitaru, following complaints from property owners about safety and accessibility. The Environment & Land Court has also certified a petition by Senator Okiya Omtatah against the Southlands Affordable Housing Project, directing Chief Justice Martha Koome to empanel a three-judge bench to hear the case. Additionally, a Nairobi court will hear a challenge from County Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria over his contempt of court sentencing, setting the next hearing for February 2, 2026, after he failed to appear in court citing illness.
