Supreme Court judges. [Photo/KBC]President Uhuru Kenyatta victory in the October 26 repeat polls may face a major hurdle ahead of the Monday midnight deadline on filing a petition at the Supreme Court.Despite the lack of specific names of organisations that are set to file a petition remaining unknown, policymakers have alleged that multiple sources are set to raid the apex court in the land with numerous petition.
“I want to assure you that there would be individuals who will be walking to court tomorrow (Monday),” Ndung’u Wainaina, Executive Director, International Centre for Policy and Conflict said in an interview with The Star.
If what has also happened of late at the NGO coordination board where three organisations have been summoned is anything to go by then it is clear the organisations could be trying to petition Uhuru's win.
Inuka Trust headed by anti-graft crusader John Githogo, the Katiba Insitute, associated with Prof Yash Pal Ghai, and Muslims for Human Rights (Muhuri) headed by Khelef Khalifa, are among organisations that were summoned.
In a press statement on November 1, Kura Yangu Sauti Yangu, a coalition of NGOs, lifted the lid on what could be part of the lobby’s submissions in court.
