Kenya’s High Court has classified a pending application as urgent. The application seeks to halt actions by President William Ruto’s Cabinet. Petitioners argue that the Cabinet exceeded its authority by not satisfying the constitutional mandate for a two‑thirds gender representation. The court’s urgent designation allows the case to be heard more quickly than normal procedures. If granted, the injunction would stop the Cabinet from exercising the contested powers. The dispute centers on compliance with the gender‑balance requirement embedded in the constitution.
