Thank you @gitweeta for sharing this. The paper you cite adds an interesting perspective to the growing debate on accountability and access to justice. I would be very interested in engaging with you further on this issue.
I am currently putting together a case in Kenya concerning the conduct, influence, and accountability of the IMF and World Bank. Your research and analysis could provide valuable insights. Please get in touch with me directly.
In 2019, U.S. Supreme Court ruled no international org has absolute immunity, making them open to lawsuits. In 2023 this paper came out "Suing the Bretton Woods Institutions: A Legal & Moral Imperative for the People of Developing Countries". Omtatah has a STRONG case in the US🥲
It is getting to that point where it is difficult not to view the Court of Appeal as the "executive's court".
What the executive wants, it gets from the COA - with suspiciously exceeding haste - and with little reference to what the Constitution says or requires.
Big!
What public interest means:
'Public interest cannot be employed as a shield for unlawful conduct. If a procurement process is shown to have violated the CoK, the
fact that implementation has commenced cannot validate the illegality even if that meant loss of public funds'

KTN has a flashback when Ruto said government top officials should be barred from donating in churches, and some months later he was spotted donating millions.
The Standard Media group will finish Ruto 😂🤣

The Supreme Court lacks jurisdiction to hear appeals from Court of Appeal judgments arising from High Court decisions under Section 35 of the Arbitration Act.Consequently, CoA cannot certify such appeals because the SCORK has already held it lacks jurisdiction.

Maybe it is time to publish that paper about the Court of Appeal & the use of Rule 5 (2)(b) as a SLEDGE HAMMER against the Constitution. It lifts at the Cough of Government, it Stays at the Wave of Government. And the Legal Sophistry of what would amount to PUBLIC INTEREST. The Kiage Bench is yet another one.

The High Court has declared Kenya's bursary system unconstitutional, holding that the lack of a national bursary database, transparent allocation criteria, and effective oversight discriminates against vulnerable students. 1/2
