Court of Appeal President Daniel Musinga during Wednesday, June 2 deliberations on how BBI appeal will be heard. [Standard]President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Madaraka Day remarks, which seemed to renew attacks on the Judiciary, were on Wednesday brought to the Court of Appeal’s attention. The appellate court is set to give directions on how appeals filed against the High Court’s BBI ruling will be heard. Lawyer Dudley Ochiel, representing Katiba Institute, sought the court’s intervention following President Uhuru Kenyatta’s statement in Kisumu, which suggested his disgruntlement with the Judiciary despite the courts being independent of any form coercion by the Executive. Court of Appeal President Daniel Musinga said the matter on Kenyatta’s remarks in Kisumu will be addressed “at an appropriate time”.
