Civil society organisation, the Katiba Institute, has written to the Controller of Budget Office demanding strict compliance with a High Court ruling that declared the creation and staffing of offices for Presidential Advisors unconstitutional, intensifying scrutiny over the government’s use of public funds.

In a letter dated February 4, 2026, addressed to Controller of Budget Margaret Nyakang’o, the organisation sought written confirmation that no funds have been approved for the former advisers or their offices since January 22, when the High Court nullified the positions.
