President William Ruto's 21 presidential advisers have been granted a temporary reprieve, allowing them to return to work after the Court of Appeal suspended a High Court ruling that declared their offices unconstitutional.

• The Court of Appeal halted the enforcement of a January 2026 judgment pending the government's appeal.
• Key individuals involved include advisers like David Ndii and Makau Mutua, and the petitioners, Katiba Institute.
• The appellate court found that immediate enforcement of the High Court decision could disrupt the functioning of the Executive Office of the President.
