“The verdict at the Supreme Court ruling undermines 1036 graft cases that have been pending in courts awaiting DPP’s prosecution,” read a statement appealing the ruling. "Such a deleterious trend that is likely to erode public confidence in the criminal justice system, due process and a major setback in the fight against corruption has been noted and is worrisome." And this is the current situation concerning conflict of interest when it comes to cases in Kenya’s courts. It's completely shocking that a Supreme Court Judge makes a decision that is so far-reaching that even his own imminent prosecution could be affected. Under no circumstances can such malfeasance be allowed to continue in our halls of justice, and certainly not at the Supreme Court.
