High Court Judge Justice Bahati Mwamuye has declared the 21 advisers to the President unconstitutional, faulting the process used to establish the positions and appoint the office holders.

In its determination, the court found that the actions leading to the establishment of the advisory offices by the first and second respondents were unlawful, rendering the appointments of all 21 advisers null and void.

The judge issued orders quashing the decision to create the advisory positions and to appoint individuals to occupy the offices, effectively removing the advisers from their roles.

Further, the court issued a permanent injunction barring the respondents from effecting or processing any payments, salaries, or benefits to the 21 advisers.

The court also directed that a comprehensive audit be conducted on all offices established during the period in question to verify their compliance with the Constitution, relevant laws, and public service regulations.

Additionally, the respondents were ordered to conduct and complete the audit and file a progress report with the court within 120 days.
