The 120 Days Ran Out on October 28. Now Activists Want Ruto’s Cabinet Shut Down


A coalition of civil society organisations has asked the High Court to suspend President William Ruto’s Cabinet, saying the President has not complied with a court order to reconstitute it within 120 days.


In an update on Tuesday, November 10, Katiba Institute said it had filed the application together with CREAW Kenya, TISA Kenya, Crawn Trust Kenya and World March of Women Kenya. They are asking the court to enforce a judgment issued on June 30, and they allege the President failed to comply. The 120-day deadline set by the court lapsed on October 28.


The petitioners want the court to suspend the Cabinet and Cabinet Secretaries from performing any functions of their offices. They also want the Secretary to the Cabinet stopped from convening or servicing Cabinet meetings, recording Cabinet decisions or communicating them. They are asking that the Controller of Budget be barred from approving Cabinet Secretaries’ salaries and benefits, and any spending on Cabinet business, from October 28, 2026. The Attorney-General, they say, should be urgently summoned to explain the non-compliance.


They also want a finding that the failure to implement the judgment amounts to wilful disobedience of court orders and is therefore contempt of court. However, they have asked the court to defer any punishment or personal liability against the President until the end of his term.


The High Court has certified the application as urgent. A three-judge bench will hear the case on December 1, 2026, according to Katiba Institute.


None of these orders has been granted. The report does not say whether the President’s office or the Attorney-General has responded, and it does not set out what the June 30 judgment found.

Miguna Miguna's Latest Reports: The NIS and KK paid bloggers, including those pretending to be protesters, are desperately trying to cause divisions

  Miguna Miguna recently made a statement regarding the actions of the Kenya Kwaza government, alleging that they are actively seeking out individuals to disrupt the protests of the Gen Zs. According to Miguna Miguna, the National Intelligence Service (NIS) and the Kenya Kwaza (KK) have resorted to paying bloggers, some of whom are posing as protesters, in an attempt to sow discord and create divisions within the protesting community. Miguna Miguna emphasized that the issues being protested by Kenyans are not limited to a specific generation, as corruption, abductions, torture, and extrajudicial killings affect all citizens, regardless of age or background.

Two Camps, One Region: The Mt Kenya Split Kindiki Has to Navigate

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki's political problem in Mt Kenya is not one rival but two. According to the story, the region is divided between a side allied to former President Uhuru Kenyatta and another allied to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Each camp has put up political resistance to Kindiki, and the story says that has made his time in the region difficult. The story describes a possible way out. Elders are reportedly working behind the scenes to reconcile Uhuru, Kindiki and Gachagua, with the aim of unity in Mt Kenya and beyond. If that effort succeeded, the story argues, it could reopen the region to the ruling UDA and help President William Ruto win votes there again. The route to that outcome is long. The story presents the reconciliation as something that could happen, not something under way between the leaders themselves. It names no elders, gives no timeline, and quotes none of the three men on whether they are open to talks. Until one of them says so, th...
