The Supreme Court has declined to be drawn into the boardroom wars at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) between the chairman and four commissioners.
Judges Martha Koome, Philomena Mwilu, Mohamed Ibrahim, Smokin Wanjala, Njoki Ndung'u, Isaac Lenaola and William Ouko ruled that it was not their business to decide for the commission on which lawyers to appoint and that each faction is at liberty to appoint who they want.
"It is not the business of the court to determine who will represent the IEBC since it is an internal issue that they can resolve themselves. The court will not be drawn into the dispute between the different factions," ruled the judges.
