Lawyer Morara Omoke has filed a cross-appeal in the Building Bridges Initiative case, seeking to have President Uhuru Kenyatta compelled to refund public cash spent by the BBI Steering Committee to Treasury. He added, "The judges erred in law by declining to take judicial notice of the huge amount of public funds, including a Sh4 billion car grant to MCAs." In the cross-appeal, the lawyer wants President Kenyatta to be ordered to dissolve Parliament as was advised by retired Chief Justice David Maraga. Omoke's demands come days after President Uhuru Kenyatta, ODM leader Raila Odinga, the BBI Secretariat and the Attorney General formally filed appeals against the BBI ruling. A High Court bench of five judges led by Prof Joel Ngugi declared the BBI unconstitutional, null and void.
