High Court Halts Ruto's Fund; Road Tender and Judicial Procedures Face Scrutiny - December 2025

The High Court has temporarily halted the implementation of President William Ruto’s proposed National Infrastructure Fund (NIF) following a constitutional petition that challenged its legality. This ruling is a blow to the government's plan to fund development projects away from debt-financing. In a separate matter, the National Liberal Party (NLP) leader Dr. Augustus Kyalo Muli has criticized the timing of the tender for the Kyuso–Tseikuru road upgrade, calling it a politically motivated move in response to a spat between President Ruto and Kalonzo Musyoka. Meanwhile, the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) announced it will join an appeal against a High Court ruling which stated that the absence of gazetted regulations for handling complaints against judges could render current JSC disciplinary proceedings unlawful.
