High Court to give direction in public seal transfer dispute

The High Court is today expected to issue directions in a constitutional petition filed by Katiba Institute challenging the transfer of Kenya’s public seal from the Attorney General to the Head of Public Service.

This comes weeks after the court issued a conservatory order stopping the transfer.

Justice Chacha Mwita ruled that the contested transfer, effected through Executive Order No. 2 of 2023, raises significant constitutional and legal questions of public interest that must undergo judicial review before any further steps are taken.

In the petition, Katiba Institute argues that the decision to relocate the public seal—which authenticates key state instruments including presidential appointments and other official state documents—violates both the Constitution and long-standing legal norms.

The public interest litigation group maintains that under Article 156 of the Constitution, the Attorney General is the principal legal adviser to the government and, by long-established tradition and legal precedent, is the rightful custodian of the seal.
