A surgeon, Dr. Magare Gikenyi, has challenged President William Ruto's establishment of a panel to compensate victims of protests in the High Court. Dr. Gikenyi argues that the President’s actions are unconstitutional, citing that existing institutions are already mandated for such functions.

• The petition claims the President acted outside Article 132(4) of the Constitution.
• Petitioner is Nakuru-based surgeon Dr. Magare Gikenyi.
• The suit questions the panel's transparency, composition, and potential duplication of duties with bodies like the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) and the Judiciary.
