STATE LAW OFFICE…………………........................RESPONDENT

RULING

1. Before this Court for consideration is the Notice of Motion dated 22 nd June 2026 by which the Petitioner DORCAS WANGARI seeks the following orders:-

“1. SPENT.

2. Pending the inter partes Hearing of this application; a

CONSERVATORY ORDER do issue saying/halting the

implementation of the Gazette Notice No. 5586 issued by

the Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs, Creative Economy

and Sports, in so far as it applies to the Elections of Council

Members of the National Youth Council;

3. Pending the Hearing and Determination of this Petition; a

CONSERVATORY ORDER do issue staying/halting the

implementation of the Gazette Notice No. 5586 issued by

the Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs, Creative Economy

and Sports, in so far as it applies to the Elections of Council

Members of the National Youth Council;

4. Costs be in the Cause.”

2. The Respondents despite having been properly served did not enter

appearance and did not file any reply to the application.

3. Due to the short time span between the hearing of the application and

Ruling date (one (1) day) the court will issue an Ex tempore Ruling.

4. I have considered the Notice of Motion, the Supporting affidavit as well

as the oral arguments made by counsel. In my view the application does

not meet the threshold required for conservatory orders. In the premises

I decline to grant the conservatory orders sought. No orders on costs. A

reasoned Ruling will be uploaded onto the CTS within twenty one (21)

days.

Dated in Nyeri this 3 rd day of July 2026.
