The Katiba Institute has filed a petition challenging President William Ruto's Ksh5 trillion National Infrastructure Fund (NIF), potentially halting its operationalization.

• The petition seeks conservatory orders to block the government from using privatization proceeds, including from Kenya Pipeline Company and a top telco, to fund the NIF.
• Key challenge: The lobby group asserts the Senate was excluded from the legislative process, violating constitutional requirements regarding county finances.
• Despite the legal challenge, the High Court has declined to suspend the Infrastructure Fund Act, deeming the matters urgent and requiring prompt hearing.
