The High Court in Milimani Nairobi has suspended President William Ruto's decision to nominate Emily Mwende Waita, John Kioli, Umar Omar and George Odera Outa as members of the National Climate Change Council (NCCC).

The interim order issued by Justice Mugure Thande bars the nominees from being appointed, gazetted or holding offices as members of NCCC pending the hearing of a petition challenging their recruitment process.
