Supreme Court judge Justice Njoki Ndung’u survived a petition seeking her ouster, a development that in turn saved the top court from stalling for lack of quorum.

The case filed by lawyer Apollo Mboya against the judge was a high-stake one because had it been successful in toppling her, it would have meant the Supreme Court would have been left with four judges.
