Hon. Katwa Kigen, JA prospective elevation to the Supreme Court cannot be divorced from the constitutional architecture on Presidential Election Petitions.
⭕️ Having been long-serving counsel to President William Ruto, the question is not personal. It is institutional.
⭕️ Under Articles 50(1) & 73 of the Constitution, justice must not only be done — it must be seen to be done.
⭕️ Can a former advocate of a potential litigant sit in judgment over his client in a Presidential Election dispute and sustain public confidence?
⭕️ In my respectful view, the current process is non-responsive to the constitutional threshold of independence and impartiality. A repeat call is the safer constitutional path @CJMarthaKoome@jsckenya@Kenyajudiciary
We really should start giving parents their flowers while they’re still alive. See how Raila was all in smiles as her daughter told his story in his presence. Worth your minutes!
