The High Court has cleared former Murang’a Governor Mwangi Wa Iria to serve as Chairman of the Public Procurement and Assets Disposal Regulatory Authority (PPADRA) board, dismissing allegations of unsuitability. The ruling by Justice Benjamin Musyoki stated that past impeachment and ongoing graft cases were insufficient to block his appointment.

• The petition, filed by Kiroko Ndegwa, sought to block Wa Iria's appointment due to his past impeachment and ongoing EACC investigations.
• Wa Iria was impeached by the Murang’a County Assembly in 2017, but the Senate later overturned the decision.
• The court affirmed that President William Ruto or other public officers cannot overturn EACC decisions regarding a candidate’s suitability, only a court of law.
