Irungu v Diageo Kenya Ltd & 7 others (Constitutional Petition E025 of 2026) [2026] KEHC 13192 (KLR) (Commercial and Tax) (31 August 2026) (Ruling)

Mbinya v Kiptoo p/a Kitoo & Associates Advocates & another (Commercial Suit E001 of 2026) [2026] KEHC 13018 (KLR) (21 August 2026) (Ruling)
The preliminary objection failed because the Civil Procedure Rules expressly authorize the High Court, on Originating Summons, to compel an advocate to deliver accounts and client money where an advocate-client relationship exists, and the Advocates Act itself does not require the client to first exhaust the Commission process; section 6B confirms that the Commission is not the first port of call where a civil suit has been filed over the same funds. The Applicant therefore had locus standi, and the court had jurisdiction.

Kangogo v County Government Workers Union (K) & 2 others (Constitutional Petition E026 of 2026) [2026] KEELRC 2427 (KLR) (20 August 2026) (Judgment)
The Petition failed because the Court found that the election date was lawfully rescheduled by the union’s competent organ with proper notice, the Petitioner had notice of the revised date when she expressed interest, no legitimate expectation arose, the Kshs. 3,000,000 nomination fee had been validly adopted by the union’s delegates, and the personal-details requirement in nomination forms was a reasonable and justifiable limitation. The Court therefore declined to interfere with the union’s constitutionally protected electoral autonomy and dismissed the Petition.

Awino v Institute of Quantity Surveyors of Kenya & 3 others (Petition E041 of 2026) [2026] KEHC 13048 (KLR) (Constitutional and Human Rights) (20 August 2026) (Judgment)
The Court held that the Petitioner had locus standi, but the petition failed because it was premature and not justiciable: the Petitioner had not exhausted the statutory disciplinary mechanisms under the Architects and Quantity Surveyors framework, and the ODPP could not be compelled to investigate where that function lies with the police. As a result, no enforceable constitutional grievance had crystallized against the respondents warranting mandamus or constitutional relief.
