A three-judge bench empanelled by Chief Justice Martha Koome to determine petitions filed against President William Ruto's decision to appoint 50 Chief Administrative Secretaries will today give directions in the matter.
Petitioners argue the President appointed 50 CASs despite the Public Service Commission saying it had created only 23 such positions.
They argue the appointments are thus illegal because the President exceeded the number.
The Chief Justice on Monday reconstituted the bench by replacing Justice John Onyiego with Justice Aleem Visram.
Judge Onyiego sits at the High Court in Garissa while Judge Visram sits at the High Court's Civil Division in Nairobi.
The two other judges on the bench are Kanyi Kimondo of the criminal division and his colleague Hedwig On'gudi from the constitutional division.
Kimondo is the presiding judge.
The court has since ordered all the CAS appointees not to assume office until the matter is heard. They are also not supposed to be paid salaries just yet.
Elsewhere, a milk vendor who fatally stabbed a supplier during a quarrel over a Sh70 refund will be sentenced today.
Henry Mugambi Gitonga was accused of picking a knife from his kiosk and stabbing Moffat Kwomboki, 25, after a quarrel over the replacement of a packet of milk that had gone sour.
Mugambi has since been found guilty and will today be sentenced by Justice Kanyi Kimondo in Nairobi.
At the same time, a businessman who killed three people in a road accident more than 10 years ago will also be sentenced this morning.
PQ had been charged with killing Silvanus Otieno, Brian Waweru and Ntsanya Otis Kapua in a 2012 accident along James Gichuru road.
He was found guilty by a Kibera magistrate.
