Petitioners are urging the High Court to prevent the Kenyan government from utilizing funds deposited in the National Infrastructure Fund. They argue that allowing withdrawals would bypass constitutional safeguards for public spending.

• Petitioners fear the fund, which could hold up to Sh400 billion from asset sales, may be spent without adequate parliamentary oversight or approval from the Controller of Budget.
• Key entities involved include the Attorney-General, who opposes the bid, and various activists and lobby groups, including the Consumers Federation of Kenya (Cofek).
• The Treasury Cabinet Secretary, John Mbadi, defends the fund as a crucial financing mechanism for national transformation projects and expects it to mobilize over Sh5 trillion.
