Lawyer files case against partisan politics at State House

A LAWYER HAS MOVED TO COURT seeking a declaration, that the use of State House for partisan political activities is unconstitutional. In the petition filed at the Constitutional and Human Rights Division of the High Court in Nairobi, lawyer Lempaa Suyianka argues that public resources have been unlawfully deployed to advance the interests of the ruling United Democratic Alliance party. The petitioner wants the court to issue orders compelling UDA to reimburse the State for all costs incurred during political activities held at State House and State Lodges. He is also seeking a permanent injunction barring all political parties from holding meetings, forums, or political activities at State House. The petition names the Attorney General, the Comptroller of State House, UDA and President William Ruto as respondents.
