• Key figures involved include Chairperson Dr. Abdillahi Saggaf Alawy and Chief Justice Martha Koome, who presided over the swearing-in ceremony on March 23, 2026.
• Notable unresolved cases include the dispute over Weston Hotel, built on land allegedly irregularly acquired from the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority, highlighting the complexities of reclaiming developed public land.
