Others are the registration of candidates for elections, voter education, the facilitation of the observation, monitoring and evaluation of elections, the regulation of money spent by a candidate or party in respect of any election, the development of a code of conduct for candidates and parties and the monitoring of compliance with legislation on nomination of candidates by parties.
Sonko's case
Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko's graft case is set to resume for hearing.
In February, Sonko defended himself in a Sh20 million corruption case, telling the court that the charges against him stem from his public opposition to corruption and land grabbing.
The former governor is facing charges related to the alleged misuse of Sh20 million in public funds.
US-Ebola quarantine case
The case challenging the US-Kenya health agreement is set to resume for hearing. The Kenya–US health cooperation framework was signed on December 4, 2025, in Washington, D.C.
The agreement, valued at $1.6 billion (about Sh208 billion) over five years, seeks to bolster Kenya’s health system, including disease surveillance and response.
However, it also provides for the sharing and exchange of digital health data between the two countries—an aspect that has triggered legal and public scrutiny.
Earlier, the High Court had issued conservatory orders suspending implementation of the framework, following concerns raised by COFEK and other petitioners over potential violations of data protection laws, lack of public participation, and risks to the privacy of sensitive health information.
