The petition by the Third Way Alliance Party challenging the president’s decision to appoint a steering committee to implement the Building Bridges Initiative constitutional review process has been dismissed by the High Court.
Justice John Mativo noted that the president exercised his executive powers and the court cannot challenge them.
Third Way Alliance party claimed that the BBI task force members were not vetted and the public was not involved in the decision as required by law.
In declining their request Justice John Mativo of the constitutional court noted the head of state was justified in forming the BBI task force and was within the law and hence the petition did not pass the threshold.

Aukot had also challenged the finances being used by the taskforce.
The court held that there was no evidence adduced before it to make a decision that the appointment of the Task Force was meant to misuse public funds.
He now says he will scrutinize the judgment to decide the way forward.
