Kenya High Court Rules CDF Act Invalid

The High Court of Kenya has ruled that the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) Act 2013 is invalid and unconstitutional. This decision came after petitioners challenged the legality of the law, questioning the process behind its enactment and the substance of the legislation, including the nature, administration, and management of the Fund. Key concerns raised by the petitioners included that the CDF Act violates constitutional principles related to the rule of law, good governance, transparency, accountability, separation of powers, and the division of powers between the national and county governments.
