High Court Judge Lawrence Mugambi stopped the implementation of the notice pending hearing and application inter-partes.

Magare Gikenyi, the applicant, was asked to serve the order to the Cabinet Secretary for Treasury, the National Assembly, and the Attorney General within a period of three days.

He also ordered the respondents to file responses within a period of seven days.

The matter will be mentioned on November 29, 2023.
