The High Court has barred Inspector General Hillary Mutyambai and his team from enforcing rules announced by the National Security Advisory Committee (NSAC) on October 7.
Justice Anthony Mrima suspended the announcement pending the determination of a suit filed by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK).
“An order is hereby issued suspending the directive issued by the National Security Advisory Committee (NSAC) on October 7 and ratified by the Cabinet,” Justice Mrima ruled.
According to the rules, politicians were required to seek authorization at least three days before the date of the event.
“The directive is being used discriminatorily and selectively to suppress divergent opinions. It seeks to limit the rights and freedoms to opinion, expression, association and campaign for a political cause and is therefore unconstitutional and invalid,” LSK Chairperson Nelson Havi stated.
The NSAC announced the measures after a series of banned meetings organized by Deputy President William Ruto.
