The High Court has suspended a controversial Ksh. 2.1 billion roads deal between Nakuru County and the National Youth Service (NYS), citing concerns over procurement and public participation. The temporary injunction was issued after a petition filed by Paul Muchiri and Kepha Omuyoma, halting the agreement until January 19, 2026.

• The deal, signed on November 7, 2025, was challenged for allegedly bypassing the proper procurement process and lacking public involvement.
• Justice Julius Nangea certified the matter as urgent, ordering Nakuru County and NYS to file their responses within seven days.
• Naivasha East MCA Stanley Karanja criticized Governor Susan Kihika for flouting procurement laws and ignoring idle county road equipment, emphasizing the importance of MCAs performing their oversight duty.
