Kenyan courts keep dunking on Ruto's entire agenda like it's their full-time job. The president catches at least five injunctions monthly that freeze or kill his big declarations and pet projects. Judges have trashed his policies, appointments, executive orders, and international deals for breaking constitutional rules, skipping public input, or ignoring legal procedures. Courts found Ruto and his ministers overstepped their authority and smacked down actions that violated the constitution.
The government sometimes follows court orders but appeals others, claiming injunctions wreck its transformation plans. High-profile cases hit Affordable Housing, the Universal Health Cover system called SHA-SHIF, forcing E-Citizen for government payments, and naming Chief Administrative Secretaries. Right before Christmas, judges blocked his National Infrastructure Fund, which he says will turn Kenya into Singapore. Courts killed his order, making parents pay school fees through E-Citizen, and stopped state agencies from switching procurement to the E-GP platform.
Ruto clapped back at what he called judicial impunity driven by crooked judges. He griped that a few people bribe their way into court and halt roads, health coverage, and housing projects. Treasury is pushing ahead with selling Kenya Pipeline Company shares despite a court freeze from Justice Bahati Mwamuye. Environment courts stopped a Bungoma affordable housing project over location fights and rule violations.
Judges nullified his victim compensation advisory body, suspended a US health cooperation agreement twice over privacy and data worries, and banned building a permanent church at the State House until mid-November. Courts threw out his Executive Order on state corporations and his National Land Commission vacancy declaration, preserving commissioners' six-year terms.
