Supreme Court has strongly affirmed its independence

Kenya’s Supreme Court has finally come of age.  It took trial by ordeal to get there — but Kenyans and the whole world know without nary a doubt that the rule of law is alive and well in Nairobi. The judicial earthquake first struck the Jubilee regime on September 1 when the Supreme Court delivered in precis its ruling nullifying the August 8 presidential poll.

On September 20 the Supreme Court in its full ruling delivered a jurist’s knockout to election rigging in Kenya. I know that lawyers for the IEBC and Jubilee are now punch-drunk. Ignore their bloviation. Fact — the Supreme Court’s ruling is a judicial masterpiece that will reverberate across the globe for ages.
