The Court of Appeal has dismissed a bid to force the Executive to give the Judiciary a bigger share of the national budget.

While Justices Mumbi Ngugi, Pauline Nyamweya and Weldon Korir said that the move to have the court pronounce itself on the consistent underfunding was noble, the issue of the funding ought to be addressed in a different forum.
