Attorney General Amos Wako has filed and appeal in court seeking to have yesterday’s ruling declaring Kadhi courts illegal quashed. Wako says the ruling by a three judge bench was itself unconstitutional.
Justice Joseph Nyamu, Roselyn Wendo and Anyara Emukule ruled that the inclusion of the kadhi courts in the current constitution was discriminatory against Christians and elevates one religion against others, therefore, going against the principle separation of State and religion.
