The High Court has halted President William Ruto's Sh12 billion Ngong-Riruta meter gauge railway project, ruling it was implemented without parliamentary approval, public participation, and a competitive procurement process.

• The project, approximately 40 percent complete, was challenged by Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah and the Karen Langata District Association.
• Justice Gregory Mutai stated that the project's funding through the Railway Development Levy Fund (RDLF) prior to a specific amendment was unconstitutional.
• The court directed a fresh, transparent tender and meaningful public participation within 90 days, with conservatory orders remaining in force for one year.
