Chief Justice David Maraga is ready to hear and determine an election petition arising from October 26 presidential election.
Through his spokesperson Mundia Muchiri, the CJ indicated the country's highest court was ready for a petition challenging the election in which President Uhuru Kenyatta was declared the winner.
"The judges and judicial officers involved in the process are more prepared to deal with the petition and unlike the last presidential petition, most of the things are still fresh," Muchiri told Saturday Nation.
Echoing the same sentiments, Supreme Court Registrar Ester Nyaiyaki said her office would remain opened to allow any willing party file a petition.
"The Supreme Court is ready to hear any poll petition that might be filed. We are considering leaving the registry open for any party, who might file the case," Nyaiyaki said.
The Maraga-led court nullified August 8 election citing irregularities and illegalities in the electoral processes.
NASA, which filed the petition, has said it won't challenge the repeat poll.
Opposition candidate Raila Odinga boycotted the election, citing unfair playing ground.
