Parliament yesterday urged the Court of Appeal to overturn a High Court judgment that declared the Sh3.5 billion Constituency Development Fund unconstitutional. The legislators, through lawyer Philip Njoroge, said judges Isaac Lenaola, David Majanja and Mumbi Ngugi interfered with their work. Njoroge told appellate judges Hannah Okwengu, Erastus Githinji and GBM Kariuki the decision amounted to armtwisting MPs on legislation they should pass. Njoroge said the CDF Act was not repealed. “It was a wrong decision that the monies be channeled through the county governments,” Njoroge said.
