The Kenyan government is battling petitioners in the High Court over the use of Sh12 billion in Railway Development Levy Funds for the Ngong–Riruta commuter railway line.

• The Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) is seeking to lift orders halting construction, arguing recent legal amendments permit the use of the funds for the metre-gauge line.
• Petitioners, led by Senator Okiya Omtatah, argue the expenditure is unlawful and unconstitutional, constituting an illegal diversion of public funds.
• The project, approximately 40.5% complete, has seen over Sh4 billion spent, and its suspension risks significant financial losses and job cuts for over 600 workers.
