Kipipiri MP Wanjiku Muhia got a major reprieve after the High Court suspended the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission's (IEBC) decision to impose a Sh1.5 million fine on her over alleged breach of the Electoral Code of Conduct.

In interim orders issued on Monday, Justice Nabil Mokaya of the Milimani High Court certified Muhia's application as urgent and stayed the implementation of the judgment delivered by the IEBC Code of Conduct Enforcement Committee on July 10, 2026.

The orders were issued just hours before the expiry of a 5 p.m. deadline on today requiring the legislator to pay the Sh1.5 million fine and appear before the commission to issue a public apology.
