The judges of the Supreme Court failed to attend President Uhuru Kenyatta's address to the joint sitting of Parliament on Tuesday.

While legislators allied to the National Super Alliance (NASA) had publicly stated that they would not attend the function – a routine address made at the start of every Parliament - it was the absence of the judges of the highest court that stood out as the calendar of the 12th House was set rolling.
