The Supreme Court has issued temporary orders halting the recovery of Sh1.5 billion paid as compensation for land occupied by Ruaraka High School and Drive-In Primary School.
A five-judge bench comprising Chief Justice Martha Koome, Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu, Justices Mohammed Ibrahim, Njoki Ndung’u, Isaac Lenaola, William Ouko and Said Juma Warsame issued interim orders staying execution of the July 3, 2026 Court of Appeal judgment pending the hearing and determination of an application filed by Huelands Limited.
The orders mean the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) cannot for the time being proceed with efforts to recover the Sh1.5 billion or undertake enforcement measures arising from the appellate court decision.
