Renowned lawyer and legal scholar Prof Makau Mutua has been enjoined to the top legal minds expected to argue NASA’s presidential petition in the Supreme Court.
For the next one week, the country is expecting to see a number of legal moguls take on one another the Supreme Court where opposition leader Raila Odinga had challenged reelection of Uhuru Kenyatta.
Known for his fierce criticism on Jubilee administration, Mutua will join Siaya senator James Orengo and former Ombudsman Otiende Amollo in the case.
Initially, NASA had ruled out challenging the results in court only for Odinga to submit voluminous evidence that seeks nullification of IEBC’s decision to announce President Kenyatta.
Already, Mutua is embroiled in another case with NGO registration body which had closed down Kenya Human Rights Commission over tax evasion.
He came into public limelight over his frequent criticism on government on his social media accounts and a famous column in local daily.
