The High Court will deliver the judgement in the case where lawyer Lempaa Suyianka has sued President William Ruto, PSC and CS Treasury over appointment of more advisors in December 2025.
Justice Bahati Mwamuye further directed that the hearing of the petition by way of highlighting of written submissions shall be on 06th November 2025 in physical court.
“At the conclusion of highlighting of written submissions, the matter shall be reserved for judgment, and judgment shall be delivered on 11th December 2025 at 10:30 AM virtually,” the judge ruled.
The case will be mentioned on 8th October 2025 to confirm compliance.
Lempaa wants the court issue an order of injunction against President Ruto from appointing any more advisors, pending the hearing and determination of the application.
The applicant also wants an order of injunction to be issued to the CS National Treasury to stop him from paying salaries and other allowances to the Interested Parties.
He further wants the Interested Parties be compelled not to receive any salaries or allowances from the CS.
Lempaa argues there is no law and/or regulations on how many advisors the President can appoint opening a window for President Ruto to inundate the civil service with political appointees who are recruited outside of the values and principles of public service.
According to the petitioner, since the Kenya Kwanza government took over after the 2022 General Elections, the President has appointed a parallel civil service that is duplicative of the functions of the civil service.
“The inundation of the Public Service with advisors violates the prudent use of public money. The political appointees continue receiving billions of shillings in terms of salaries and other allowances at the detriment of the Kenyan tax payers, ” Lempaa added.
He further claims that lack of a law and or regulations of how many advisors that the President can appoint is not a carte blench to saturate and inundate the public service with political appointees.
“Some of the duties and work of the so called advisors can be handled by the relevant civil servants in various government departments,” Lempaa said.
