Let’s examine Supreme Court with critical eye

How things have changed. In the ‘old days’ up until 2007, the route to the presidency had two obvious requirements: many votes in the ballot box and a lot of money in the bank. Another bonus advantage was having powerful networks in your pocket, but of course being an incumbent was the most premium advantage. But now, there is a new arena for electoral victory: the courtroom. The Supreme Court, to be more specific.

When Raila Odinga lost the 2007 elections, he was certain that he had lost unfairly. But he could not even dream of taking a petition to the Supreme Court. And this was for good reason. The Chief Justice at the time was Evans Gicheru.
