National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula continued to hold meetings with political messaging despite a court order barring him from doing so.
On Friday, July 10, 2026, Wetang’ula was in Narok County for a women’s empowerment programme, and in his message, he emphasised why the residents should vote for President William Ruto in the 2027 elections.
Wetang’ula in Narok
“Today, I joined fellow leaders in Narok North to rally the Maasai community behind President William Ruto’s re-election bid, noting that continued support for his administration will accelerate development and improve livelihoods,” Wetang’ula’s message read.
“Speaking during an empowerment programme for the Enarau Women Group at Enarau Primary School, I highlighted key development projects underway in the region, including the planned extension of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) through Narok. The project will unlock the county’s economic potential, create jobs and provide affordable, safe and efficient transport.
“I thanked residents for turning out despite the heavy rain and urged them to seize the opportunities these projects will create to grow their businesses and uplift their livelihoods.”
Court order
On July 8, Milimani High Court issued a conservatory order blocking Wetang’ula and his Senate counterpart Amason Jeffah Kingi from participating in partisan politics pending the hearing and determination of the application filed against them.
Justice David Mburu issued the order that restrains the two speakers from endorsing any political candidate, campaigning for any political party or aligning with any political coalition while still holding their current offices.
“Pending the inter partes hearing of this application, a conservatory order is hereby issued restraining the 1st and the 2nd respondents (Wetang’ula and Kingi), while serving as the speaker of the National Assembly and the Senate, respectively, from using, invoking, relying upon or benefiting from the authority, prestige, dignity, influence or incidents of their constitutional offices in the organisation, promotion, endorsement, leadership or conduct of organised partisan political campaigns in support of or opposition to any political party, political coalition or political candidate,” Justice Mburu ordered.
The order comes from a petition filed by a human rights organisation, Vocal Africa, seeking a permanent injunction restraining Wetang’ula and Kingi from leading, organising, officiating, addressing, promoting, endorsing or otherwise participating in partisan political campaign activities while holding the offices.
The matter will be mentioned on July 16, 2026, and further directions are expected to be given.
