Uhuru Questions Supreme Court Decision
President Uhuru Kenyatta has questioned the criteria which the Supreme Court judges used to uphold the election victory of his deputy William Ruto.
Addressing the nation on Monday, September 5, Uhuru questioned whether the judiciary was consistent in making rulings in the presidential petitions.
In particular, he noted that the 2017 polls were nullified based on the electoral process adding that the 2022 decision was based more on the numbers.
“We must ask ourselves, is it about numbers or is it about the process? Which of these two is it? Can our institutions rule one way in one election and another way in another election without scrutiny?” he posed.
The outgoing Head of State noted that the court’s decision needed to be scrutinised so that the country’s democracy is made stronger.
