President William Ruto has assented to three key Bills into law: the Miscellaneous Fees and Levies (Amendment) Act, 2026, the Coffee Act, 2023, and the Meteorology Act, 2023.

• The Coffee Act, 2023 reorganises the coffee sector, transferring regulatory roles to the Coffee Board of Kenya and establishing a new Coffee Research and Training Institute.
• The Miscellaneous Fees and Levies (Amendment) Act, 2026 expands the scope of the Railway Development Levy to finance broader railway infrastructure and establishes the Railway Development Levy Fund.
• The Meteorology Act, 2023 establishes a framework for meteorological services, creating the Kenya Meteorological Service Authority and the Meteorology Training and Research Directorate.

The High Court has dismissed a petition that sought to nullify the appointment of Noordin Haji as the Director-General of the National Intelligence Service (NIS). The court ruled that President William Ruto's appointment and the subsequent parliamentary approval process were constitutional.

• The court found no constitutional breach in Haji's nomination and vetting process.
• Key individuals involved include petitioner Eliud Karanja Matindi and appointed official Noordin Haji, with President William Ruto making the nomination.
• The court stated that the President has discretion in nominating the NIS Director-General, and being a serving state officer does not disqualify a candidate.

The Kenyan Court of Appeal has temporarily suspended a High Court ruling that declared President William Ruto's 21 advisers unconstitutional.

• The suspension allows the advisors to continue serving and receiving salaries pending the appeal hearing.
• Key organizations involved include the Office of the Attorney General and the Katiba Institute.
• The ruling was delivered unexpectedly, with legal representatives of the Katiba Institute stating they were not notified of the early delivery.
