The High Court on Thursday annulled the BBI process in a historic ruling that halted the push for the constitutional change. Justices Joel Ngugi, George Odunga, Jairus Ngaah, Teresa Matheka and Chacha Mwita ruled that the BBI Steering Committee is not people-driven and could therefore not initiate a popular initiative. The ruling elicited mixed reactions, with those against BBI celebrating, while pro-BBI proponents were left disappointed. There must be winners and losers in judgments, but it saddens when losers turn on the judges and start hurling abuses and casting aspersions. Let us respect court rulings and use the available appeal channels.
