The judiciary has addressed fake reports alleging that DCJ Philomena Mwiu and Judge Smokin Wanjala have tendered their resignations.
For the better part of Sunday, September 11, speculation raged that the two Supreme Court judges had submitted their resignations to the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).
However, the judiciary clarified that the information was false and should be treated with contempt.
The allegations come soon after the dismissal of Raila’s Azimio la Kenya One Kenya Alliance petition against the declaration of William Ruto as president-elect.
Some social media users quickly attributed the ‘resignation’ to the recently delivered verdict.
The two judges were part of a seven-judge bench that upheld the victory of president-elect William Ruto having garnered 50.5% of the total votes cast.
The bench found that there were no election illegalities and irregularities of such huge magnitude that should warrant the nullification of an election.
