The High Court ordered the government to erase the names of Kenyan citizens registered as refugees in Kakuma and Daadab camps for food rations from the database.
The judgment arose from a case filed in the High Court's Constitutional Division in Garissa, where the petitioners-Haki and Sheria Initiative (1st petitioner), alongside Ahmed Mohamed Muhumud, Sahal Abdi Amin, and Deka Muktar Gure (2nd, 3rd, and 4th petitioners, respectively)-urged the government to remove certain Kenyans from the refugee list.
The petition argued that their registration as refugees had unjustly denied them access to essential government services.
In his ruling, Justice John Onyiego found that the government violated the constitutional rights of the affected Kenyans by failing to deregister them from the refugee list.
