A Nairobi High Court has struck down two presidential directives that sought to set aside 20% of Affordable Housing Programme units exclusively for teachers and police officers, declaring the pronouncements unlawful and of no legal force.

Justice Nyaundi Patricia Mande delivered the judgment on October 29, 2026, at the Milimani High Court in Case No. HCCHRPET/E614/2025.

The petition was brought by John Maina Ndegwa and Marshalls Tito Ongoya, who named the State Law Office, the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Nairobi Branch, and other parties as respondents.
