Hearings devoid of vigour as was case in August

Round two of the cases challenging the re-election of President Uhuru Kenyatta lacked the vigour and fanfare witnessed during the previous sitting due to the absence of top politicians and lawyers.

Coming less than three months after Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka’s case, the petitions by Harun Mwau, Njonjo Mue and Khelef Khalifa are neither politically charged nor characterised by the passion, hope, excitement and tension both inside and outside the Supreme Court.
