Four petitioners have moved to court to challenge the legality of a task force formed by President William Ruto.

In January, the President formed a 42-member task force through Executive Order and Gazette Notice No. 109 to tackle Gender-Based Violence (GBV).

The President formed the force amid pressure from different stakeholders to address the prevalent issue of femicide across the country.

The new force comprised several notable names, including Ann Ireri, Sam Thenya, James Nombi, Michael Kariuki, Faith Odhiambo, Linda Musumba, and Seth Masese.
