High Court Rejects Ruto’s Plan to Reserve Affordable Houses for Teachers and Police

Kenya’s High Court declared unconstitutional and legally ineffective President William Ruto’s announcements to reserve 20% of affordable housing units for teachers and police officers. In a ruling delivered on October 29, Justice Patricia Nyaundi said the president could not change allocation criteria established by law and regulations without a statutory or policy basis. The decision followed a constitutional petition arguing that the reservation would unfairly favour selected groups, despite the programme drawing on public resources and contributions from Kenyans in different occupations. Petitioners’ lawyer John Maina said the proposed allocation was unsupported by any existing law.

Anne Féconde Noah, a communications representative for the PCRN, asks whether the officer would have refused to move his vehicle if the commander had been a man. She challenges prejudice about a woman’s appearance, age, and gender in a command role, stressing that state insignia should be respected. Noah advises the captain to use measures within her authority, such as having an improperly parked vehicle sealed, rather than give in to provocations.
