The High Court has dealt yet another blow to President William Ruto after it ruled that he acted unconstitutionally when he assigned the Police Reforms Taskforce to former Chief Justice David Maraga.
In a ruling delivered by Justice Bahati Mwamuye on Thursday, the judge ruled that the president erred in appointing the task force by duplicating the functions of the National Police Service Commission. According to Mwamuye, the president cannot use his executive powers to take away functions of an independent commission. ''The president cannot, under the disguise of executive powers, take functions of an independent commission and vest them in a task force.
It is unlawful and unconstitutional," Mwamuye ruled.
