Nairobi: Deputy Chief Justice Kalpana Rawal and Supreme Court judge Phillip Tunoi have suffered a setback after the Court of Appeal dismissed their separate applications to have judges GBM Kariuki and Milton Makhandia out of their retirement case.

A seven-judge bench composed of Justices Kariuki, Otieno Odek, Patrick Kiage, William Ouko, Jamilla Mohammed, Kathurima M'Inoti and Makhandia dismissed the applications and ruled that there was no basis to disqualify the two judges from hearing the retirement age appeals.
