The Supreme Court on Friday, May 31, ruled that decisions made by the country’s apex court could not be overturned by the East African Court of Justice (EACJ). The Supreme Court further ruled that domestic courts and regional courts did not have a vertical relationship. This was interpreted to mean that the decisions of the Supreme Court were not subject to appeal at the EACJ. “The EACJ also does not have a merit review jurisdiction over decisions of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court refrained from making orders as to whom would bear costs.
