The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has declared the gazettement of Judicial Service Commission (JSC) procedures to be an urgent matter, announcing its intent to join an appeal against a recent High Court ruling. This ruling stated that the absence of gazetted regulations for handling complaints against judges could render ongoing JSC disciplinary proceedings unlawful.

• The LSK President, Faith Odhiambo, condemned the December 18, 2025 ruling by a three-judge High Court bench as a "dangerous precedent" that risks paralyzing the JSC's constitutional mandate.
• The LSK will join appellate proceedings against the decision, asserting that procedural gaps cannot limit the mandate of constitutional bodies.
• The JSC had already filed its own appeal following the High Court decision, which temporarily halted the processing of complaints against judges.

The National Liberal Party (NLP) leader Dr. Augustus Kyalo Muli has criticized the timing of the tender for the Kyuso–Tseikuru–Kandwia road upgrade in Kitui County, labeling it a politically motivated move. He views it as a direct response to a recent public spat between President William Ruto and Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka over development in the region.

• The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) published the tender notice for the road rehabilitation, identified as tender number KeNHA/2924/2025.
• The project includes strengthening the Kyuso–Tseikuru–Kandwia road to bitumen standards.
• A mandatory pre-tender site visit is scheduled for January 15, 2026, with the tender closing on February 5, 2026.
• Muli accused both Ruto and Musyoka of engaging in "politics of optics" rather than prioritizing genuine community development, particularly addressing issues like chronic water shortages.
