The Panel of Experts on Compensation of Victims of Demonstrations and Public Protests has applied to the High Court in Kerugoya to overturn conservatory orders that halted its operations. The panel alleges the orders were improperly obtained and that the petitioner, Nairobi-based lawyer Levi Munyeri, concealed vital information and engaged in "forum shopping."

• The original conservatory orders were issued on September 8, temporarily suspending the panel's work.
• The panel was formally appointed by Gazette Notice No. 12002 on August 25, 2025, and is chaired by President Ruto’s advisor Prof. Makau Mutua.
• The panel argues the urgency of the matter, stating its 120-day lifespan would expire if the motion to vacate the orders is not heard swiftly.
