Consequently, Chief Justice David Maraga of the apex court ordered the conduction of another presidential election before October 31.

Kenyata, in his reaction described judges in the Supreme Court as “crooks”

“Every time we do something a judge comes out and places an injunction. It can’t go on like this … there is a problem and we must fix it.

“I think those robes they wear make them think that they are cleverer than the rest of us Kenyans.

“Maraga thinks he can overturn the will of the people. We shall show you … that the will of the people cannot be overturned by a few people,” Kenyatta said.
