During the inaugural Joint Forum of the National Assembly and the Judiciary leadership on Friday, August 22, National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula voiced concerns over the Judiciary's frequent conservatory orders, which he stated frustrate Parliament's legislative mandate. Chief Justice Martha Koome emphasized the importance of decisional independence for both institutions.

• Speaker Wetangula sought clarification on why Bills and Acts of Parliament are often declared unconstitutional by courts.
• Chief Justice Koome stated that a "dalliance" between the two institutions could erode independence and public trustworthiness, while affirming that judicial review remains essential.
• The two arms of government agreed to establish a collaborative and consultative forum based on mutual respect and the public good, while upholding the doctrine of separation of powers.
