The Judiciary has postponed the time set for ruling on the legality of President William Ruto's Chief Administrative Secretaries.
The ruling which was to be issued on Monday morning at 9 am has now been moved to 2:30.
"The judgment regarding the CASs matter will be delivered at 2.30pm and not 9am as earlier announced. Apologies for any inconvenience," Judiciary said on Twitter.
A three-judge bench will render its verdict in a case challenging the creation of an additional twenty-seven positions in the office of the Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS).

President William Ruto on March 16 this year nominated for appointment 50 nominees for the position of CAS against 23 vacancies earlier advertised by PSC.
The 50 were picked from a list of 240 shortlisted candidates.
In consequence, three cases were lodged before the High Court; one by a Kenyan citizen living in the UK Eliud Matindi and another by the Law Society of Kenya in conjunction with Katiba Institute, and another by a Kenyan citizen.
The cases were consolidated and heard together.
The petitioners argued that the nominations went against a letter to the chairperson of the Public Service Commission from the Head of the public service requesting a vacancy declaration of 23 vacancies in the office of CAS.
They told the court that only 23 vacancies lawfully existed.
The petitioners want the court to nullify the decision to create an additional twenty-seven CAS positions.
