Mwala MP Victor Musyoka has launched a scathing attack on the Supreme Court led by Chief Justice David Maraga over the ruling on the presidential petition.
According to Musyoka, the standards of the ruling were too low. The lawmaker said that it requires the super majority to nullify presidential elections and not what Maraga did.
"Some simple decisions require a two-thirds majority in this house. Going forward, I think it will be in the wisdom of this house that even when the bench sits to make such decisions as nullifying a presidential election, should require a unanimous decision or a super majority by the judges," Musyoka said, as quoted by Star.
His remarks were backed by Kikuyu MP Kimani and Nakuru Senator Susan Kihika. Ichung'wa who said that the Supreme Court is being run by cartels. Ichungwa opined that the cartels are behind the ruling on the presidential election.
On her part, Kihika said Judiciary has failed in its mandate after the Judges failed to turn for the presidential address.
“If the Chief Justice was not around, his deputy or other justices should have come to attend an important national function presided over by the president," Kihika said.
