High Court Makes Decision on Kalonzo-Led Committee

A petition challenging the constitutionality of the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) has been tossed out by the High Court.

In his ruling, Justice Mugambi determined that the case was premature, citing that the court’s jurisdiction has been sought to apply a ruling on a non-existent dispute.

“The petitioners want the court to determine a non-existent controversy. The court has no business engaging in premature adjudication of disputes. The doctrine of ripeness applies in this case,”  Justice Mugambi’s ruling read.

The National Dialogue Committee was formed to quell tensions between the opposition and the ruling Kenya Kwanza government after the hotly contested 2022 general election.
