Facts

The petitioner filed a petition and notice of motion on 29.06.2020, alleging violations of Articles 3(1), 22, 23, 48, 50(1), and 258 of the Constitution of Kenya, and the MWONGOZO (Code of Governance for State Corporations). The respondent is the Chief Executive Officer of the Water Sector Trust Fund.

Issues
