The High Court has temporarily halted the construction of the proposed Riruta–Ngong Commuter Metre Gauge Railway Project. This decision came after Justice Bahati Mwamuye issued interim conservatory orders against Kenya Railways Corporation and other government entities for non-compliance with court directives regarding the project's funding and legality.

• On January 20, 2026, Justice Bahati Mwamuye restrained continued funding and progress on the project.
• The case was filed by activist Okiya Omtatah Okoiti, challenging the project's legality and funding.
• The court also barred the use of funds from the Railway Development Fund or the Consolidated Fund unless approved by Parliament.
