The High Court has issued an interim order suspending the re-appointment of members to the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO) Board. This suspension is in response to a petition alleging constitutional violations regarding inclusivity and ethnic diversity in public appointments.

• The court order suspends any gazette notice re-appointing current board members until further directions.
• The petition was filed by Benjamin Okumu, who accuses the KETRACO Board of Directors of favouring a single ethnic community.
• Allegations claim that approximately 63% of senior executive positions are held by individuals from one ethnic community, violating national values and principles of governance.
