High Court Declares Law Restricting Retired Presidents From Active Politics Unconstitutional

The High Court of Kenya declared unconstitutional a law prohibiting retired presidents from engaging in active politics. Judge Bahati Mwamuye stated that a former president, after their term, is a private citizen and cannot be controlled by the law in their private life. This ruling allows Uhuru Kenyatta and other former presidents to participate in political activities as long as they do not hold positions within political parties.
