Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen has taken issue with the Supreme Court's full verdict for the annulled August 8 presidential elections.
Speaking during a press briefing Wednesday,shortly after attending the 12-hour long reading session,the Jubilee lawmaker termed the verdict as unfair, saying that the ruling pointed towards some serious shortcomings in the judicial system.
He also termed the verdict as underwhelming.
''Based on the decision made by the court,it is now clear to every single Kenyan that we have a big problem in our Judiciary.The decision by the majority is simply underwhelming,'' said Murkomen who also doubles up as a lawyer.
His comments were echoed by lawyer Fred Ngatia who represented President Uhuru Kenyatta in the case.
Ngatia further rubbished the reasons given by the majority,saying that the evidence presented by the petitioner was weak and not sufficient to result to the nullification of an entire election.
''The evidence was weak.It's unfortunate that the judges believed in them and as a result have given a shallow verdict,'' he said.
