Justice Ojwang’ trolled on social media after reading his detailed ruling for hours

Judges of the Supreme Court of Kenya, led by Chief Justice David Maraga on 20^th September 2017 delivered the full ruling on the presidential election petition.

The Supreme Court of Kenya became the first court in Africa’s history to declare the results of a presidential election invalid, null and void and ordering for a fresh presidential election.

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission announced that the repeat election will be held on 17^th October, a date which most political pundits say is too close for the Commission to adequately set the table right.

Apart from CJ Maraga’s detailed ruling, the highlight of the day was Justice Ojwang, who read his detailed ruling for more than three hours.

To express their dissatisfaction, amazement and fatigue, Kenyans took to social media to troll the judge on his detailed ruling.

Justice Ojwang is among two judges who dissented with the petition filed by Raila Odinga at the Supreme Court, the other being Njoki Ndung’u, who also took a lot of time reading her ruling.

Here are some of the top tweets by Kenyans trolling the Supreme Court judge:
