The newly elected Court of Appeal President Justice Daniel Musinga is expected anytime from now to constitute a bench to determine the next fate of the BBI process. Justice Musinga has a pool of 11 judges to pick from but anti-BBI proponents insist they want a bench of 11 or at least seven judges. The Appellate court could give a lifeline to BBI or dim it forever by agreeing with the landmark findings of the High Court two weeks ago. Currently, there are 12 judges at the Court of Appeal including Musinga. The small number has been occasioned by President Uhuru Kenyatta refusal to appoint 41 Judges, 11 of whom were to join the Appellate Court.
