President Uhuru Kenyatta had his win overturned on grounds of irregularities and illegalities committed by the electoral body, IEBC.
After the annulment, NASA wanted all IEBC commissioners found culpable of the irregularities and illegalities charged and jailed if found to have interfered with the whole electoral process.
With the judgment expected on Wednesday, Kenyans are eager to know who was responsible for messing up the whole process that has sent the country back to an electioneering mood.
But if found guilty of infringing the law, what action will be taken against the culprits?
As a country, there has been a lot of scandals that have gone unresolved. Political assassinations, corruption cases, unresolved land issues, intercommunity wars and hate speech remain issues of concern to Kenyans.
In spite of these incidences, no particular person has been jailed for their wrongdoing against the Kenyan people.
If by any chance the full Supreme Court ruling comes up with certain names of people who may have bungled the elections, then it is only appropriate they face the full force of the law.
They should be held responsible for interfering with the will of Kenyans for their own gain or the gain of others.
The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) should pursue anyone linked to the irregularities and illegalities cited by the court.
It should not follow the precedence of cases like the Tokyo Embassy Property scam and National Youth Service (NYS) scandal where the alleged culprits, Moses Wetang'ula, and Anne Waiguru, continue serving as civil servants.
If charged, found guilty and jailed then there will be no more interference with elections in the country.
For once, the government should stop their rhetoric and act swiftly to stop injustices being committed knowingly by certain individuals.
Be it murder, corruption, hate speech or any other breach of the law, the culprits should be subjected to the law irrespective of their status in the society.
Failure to tame these incidences means that future occurrences will be inevitable.
