Vetting of PS nominees will now proceed after the court struck out three petitions challenging President William Ruto's nominees.
In a ruling delivered this morning, Justice Nduma Nderi said the three petitions were filed prematurely.
He said that in the PS nominee matter, the court can only be approached once the National assembly has concluded the vetting process and written its report.
“This court will only be called upon the conclusion of the vetting process by the National Assembly this is a sacred mandate given to the House by the people of Kenya and the court must pay the difference of the House in that respect accordingly the consolidated cases have been filed prematurely,” Nderi said.
Two weeks ago, Justice Nzioki Wa Makau issued a conservatory order stopping the vetting that was already underway in Parliament.
Last week, Judge Nderi extended the orders to today when he will make a substantive ruling on jurisdiction which was raised by the national assembly.
The National Assembly had argued that, according to the law, if the 51 nominees are not vetted within 28 days then they will automatically be sworn into office.
