Chief Justice Willy Mutunga has condemned the Monday teargassing incident by police on a group of CORD protesters who were calling for the removal of commissioners at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission.

While quoting American writer and Nobel Prize laureate William Faulkner, Justice Mutunga wondered why police had to teargass the ‘peaceful procession'.
