A silent but stormy battle for the control of the Supreme Court has erupted as Chief Justice David Maraga leaves office on Friday. It is almost a given that the presidential polls will spill over to the Supreme Court for final determination. She said there is a scheme by her detractors to not only block her ascension but also to kick her out of the Supreme Court. At the Supreme Court, there are Justices Smokin Wanjala and Njoki Ndung'u. Ndung'u alongside Jackton Ojwang dissented in the Supreme Court decision to nullify President Uhuru Kenyatta's reelection in 2017.
