On Monday, Justice Edward Muriithi extended the orders that temporarily halted President William Ruto's directive to form the panel, pending the inter partes hearing of the application on October 21, 2025.
The contested panel was tasked with recommending a reparations framework for individuals who were victims of police brutality and violence during recent anti-government protests, many of which were led by young people.
The conservatory orders were first issued on September 8, 2025, when Justice Kizito Magare certified the case as urgent.
The court suspended the panel's mandate and prohibited respondents, including government agencies, from enforcing or acting on the presidential proclamation of August 6, 2025, which outlined the compensation initiative.
According to the court's previous orders, respondents and interested parties were to be served immediately and required to file responses within seven days, with the applicant having three days to submit written arguments.
Respondents and interested parties were given an additional three days to file their submissions, which had to be received by September 30, 2025 By
