The Supreme Court upheld decisions of the High Court and Court of Appeal barring Moses Lenolkulal, Ferninand Ndung’u Waititu Babayao and Mike Mbuvi Sonko from accessing their offices upon being charged. Should the seven Judges sit despite having been charged before the JSC?
Para a extrema-direita, nada mais relativo do que o crime. Ocupar terra improdutiva é um delito grave. Destruir o Capitólio ou o STF é lutar pela liberdade.
If Supreme Court is going to ban any single Kenyan from getting an audience in any of the courts, the Chief Justice and entire SCORK should resign. https://t.co/FwwuArfSEj
Supreme Court justices in Kenya have expressed grave concerns regarding the erosion of the rule of law, stating that if such disregard becomes commonplace, the nation cannot survive. In a collective statement, they condemned recent disturbances at the West High Court as a blatant rejection of the rule of law, labeling the incidents as serious crimes. The justices are advocating for a strong response from the Supreme Court to address these issues. Additionally, the Supreme Court has declined to hear a case involving Ahmednasir Abdullahi Advocates LLP, referencing a prior ruling from January 2024 that mandated all justices recuse themselves from cases involving this law firm. The situation has sparked discussions about the implications of Chief Justice Martha Koome's decisions and the potential need for her resignation, as well as the broader impact on the judiciary's integrity.
