Attorney General Justin Muturi (seated second left) and Justice Erik Ogolla (centre) joined by members of the commission of inquiry into the Shakahola cult deaths at Milimani Law Court on May 9, 2023.
The High Court on Monday suspended operations of the Shakahola Commission for seven days pending a detailed ruling to be issued next week.
This comes after Azimio coalition, headed by opposition leader Raila Odinga, sued to stop it from commencing sittings.
The coalition filed the case two weeks ago arguing that President William Ruto’s appointment of the eight-member team is illegal and amounts to a usurpation of powers vested in other state organs by the Constitution.
