Will government now ground to a halt as court declines to set aside orders suspending Finance Act? Big blow to Ruto as he faces huge public backlash

This afternoon, Justice Mugure Thande dismissed the state's request to set aside the decision she had made suspending the Finance Act 2023. According to Judge Thande, the state did not provide enough justification for her to lift the orders. Therefore, the order has been postponed until the case's hearing and decision.
Experts believe that we are now faced with the very real danger of the government grounding to a halt due to lack of finances. More so as Azimio continues to fight the additional VAT on fuel that Kenyans are already paying in violation of the court order pausing the controversial Finance bill.

In order to appoint a bench to hear the petition, the judge also transmitted the case to the CJ.
 Prior to its hearing and decision, the High Court in Nairobi had last week prolonged the orders made in the lawsuit brought by Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah and Attorney Otiende Omollo.

The pair stated in their submission that extending the orders and issuing conservatory orders will not affect the state.

In their situation, they asserted that specific portions violate the Constitution generally and pose a threat to the right to property and access to justice.

Omtatah asserts that the petition presents significant legal problems and that the Chief Justice should convene a bench of judges to hear the case and render a decision.

Treasury Cabinet Secretary Njuguna Ndung'u had requested the court to overturn the directives in his case, nevertheless. He argued that the government will experience a budget catastrophe as a result. He told Justice Mugure Thande that the government had continued to lose Sh578 million daily in taxes since the orders were issued on June 30.

In one instance, Elijah Okumu's family said that, when he was closing up shop in Nairobi's Dandora district, police shot and killed the 26-year-old. Okumu was transported by family members to Mama Lucy Hospital in eastern Nairobi before being moved to Kenyatta National Hospital, where he passed away from his wounds. And there are still a ton more instances like this one.

Crazy BUT true reading;

The saying "the dead don't tell tales" has come to haunt police and a Kakamega town when the body of a lady who had been missing for more than a week was found after its location was revealed in a dream.
The strange episode has reignited the long-running argument over whether the dead may speak to the living and the applicability of "their messages" to those they may have talked to.

Police are unsure of whether to treat the person to whom the revelation was made as a whistle-blower or a suspect as the villagers speculate that the dream may be a testament to the deceased's desire for a proper funeral and her determination to see her killers brought to justice.

Sometimes in politics, events and developments that unfold quietly behind the scene have the biggest impact. Like the human factor (which Chairman Mao once said was a key determinant in any great undertaking.). In this Kumekucha video we conclude a full analysis of what Kenyans should expect going forward as a result of a most impactful saba saba day 2023.

Captivating read in the Sunday Nation this morning in the Weekly Review section on Tom Mboya. Confirms information available on this channel over 5 years ago on who killed Mboya and why.
