Kenya's High Court has suspended President William Ruto's Presidential Multi-Agency Team on the War Against Corruption (MAT-WAC) pending the outcome of a legal challenge filed by four activists who argue that the establishment of the team is unconstitutional and illegal. The suspension halts the operations of this anti-graft body as the court reviews the petition. Concurrently, members of Parliament have demanded that President Ruto provide evidence to substantiate his claims of corruption within the legislature, particularly regarding allegations of extortion involving MPs. This has sparked a wider debate between the Executive and the Legislature, with calls for transparency and accountability. The National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) has also urged President Ruto to substantiate his corruption claims in Parliament. Various political figures and former lawmakers have weighed in on the issue, highlighting concerns about Parliament's role in oversight and resource allocation, including the management of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). Meanwhile, preparations for the 2026/27 national budget are underway, with Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi noting the challenges posed by a difficult global economic environment marked by rising trade barriers, tighter financial conditions, and policy uncertainties. Mbadi emphasized the need to eliminate inefficiencies, duplication, and misallocation of resources, while maintaining public participation in fiscal policy.
