The Court of Appeal has temporarily suspended a lower court's ruling that granted the Inspector-General exclusive power over police promotions and dismissals. This halt is in effect pending the determination of an appeal filed by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK).

• The suspension specifically affects the powers of promotion and dismissal of police officers.
• Key parties involved include the Inspector-General, the National Police Service Commission (NPSC), and the Law Society of Kenya.
• The appeal challenges a October 30, 2025 ruling by the Employment and Labour Relations Court (ELRC), which had stripped the NPSC of its constitutional authority over recruitment, promotion, and dismissal.
