Chief Justice told not to retire early when Judiciary is in glitches

The Civil Society in Kenya has written an open letter to the Chief Justice Willy Mutunga asking him to cancel his decision of retiring early especially when the judiciary is in glitches.

The Chief Justice is set to retire in June 16, 2016 when two judges of the Supreme Court, Justice Kalpana Rawal and Philip Tunoi are in a case with their employer. The two judges hold that they were hired into the judiciary under the old law, but JSC contends that the Supreme Court judges are a creation of the new Constitution promulgated in 2010 and therefore, they have to retire at 70.
