Cartels in the Supreme Court are hell bent on influencing Judiciary matters, a lawyer has claimed.

The claims by John Khaminwa came after Kituo Cha Sheria withdrew from a case in which Deputy Chief Justice Kalpana Rawal and Supreme Court judge Phillip Tunoi challenged a Court of Appeal ruling to have them retire at the age of 70.
