The Court of Appeal has quashed the decision by Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu to appoint a three-judge bench to hear consolidated petitions filed by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua seeking to block his successor, Prof Kithure Kindiki.
Justice Daniel Musinga, Mumbi Ngugi, and Francis Tuiyott said that Mwilu did not have constitutional powers to appoint the three-judge bench.
