Ruto’s Office Discloses Whether He Will Attend Mudavadi’s Meeting; Number of CSs Who Have Allegedly Given Resignation Letters to Uhuru & Mudavadi Keeps Kenyans Guessing Ahead of Big Day

Good morning,

Chief Justice Martha Koome faces an acid test when she delivers the most consequential judicial decision since her appointment to the position.

She will lead a seven-judge bench of the supreme court in ruling on the Building Bridges Initiative(BBI) appeal case.

The three-day hearing saw lawyers put up spirited arguments over the petition which has elicited a lot of public interest.

The issues beforehand for the judges include; determining whether certain sections of the constitution are protected from the amendment, whether the President can initiate changes/amendments to the constitution and other issues including whether civil proceedings can be instituted against the President.

This comes as President Uhuru Kenyatta has put a spirited fight to leave a good legacy behind when he leaves office later this year.

The President during the pass-out parade of cadets on Thursday banned the trade in scrap metals forthwith, terming it a threat to national security.

Head of State said the unregulated buying and selling of scrap metals has given a leeway to economic saboteurs who have been running their criminal activities with reckless abandon.

The visibly irritated President Uhuru cited the recent incident in Naivasha where a power transmission line was vandalised occasioning a national blackout.

Meanwhile, here are stories making headlines on Opera News today:
