Am with you on this, the CJ was not around so someone had to hear the submissions.

All in all, Rawal and Tonui need to go

Mutunga “I hereby invoke my administrative powers as the Chief Justice and the President of the Supreme Court to fast track the hearing of the application,”

“The Chief Justice has no legal power or authority to single handedly vary an order issued by a judge of the Supreme Court under Section 24(i) of the Supreme Court Act,” Mrs Rawal said.

We have not seen the end of this drama

Now i agree with our in-house senior legal counsel @maka that this thing about stay orders were pre-arranged!!!! Kenya

I agree, he doesn't pick NN calls.

Boss, unless you are blind, Njoki's ruling was meant to ensure that Mutunga retires and Rawal becoms the CJ before her case is heard.

Her ruling made sure Mutunga was not involved in determining the case.

Sounds irrational to me and us someone has said above, why certify the matter as urgent then put the hearing after 1 month. A rational person making that decision 9/10 times would have consulted the CJ

Mutunga was angry and rightfully so. He knew that the hearing as given by NN would come after he's left the office, meaning Rawal would be acting CJ. It made no sense for NN to put that date. That was a constitutional crisis in the making.
