Monday, September 5, 2022 –Outgoing President Uhuru Kenyatta has taken issue with the Supreme Court decision to affirm William Ruto’s election today.

Speaking from Statehouse Kenya on Monday September 5 evening, Mr. Kenyatta questioned why the Supreme Court sitting today did not question the process under which Ruto won but instead chose stick with numbers as was announced by Chief Justice Martha Koome in her ruling.

Steering clear of congratulating his deputy now the president-elect, Kenyatta went ahead to ask the courts in the country to remain steadfast in prescribing to the rule of law rather than playing politics.

“We must ask ourselves, is it about numbers or is it about the process? Which of these two is it? Can our institutions rule one way in one election and another way in another election without scrutiny?” he posed.

The Jubilee Party leader said that the today court’s decision needed to be scrutinized so that the country’s democracy can be fermented on the rule of law for the future of the country.

“While we must appreciate these institutions, we must hold them to account. Their truth has to be consistent and coherent. This is the only way we build our democracy,” he added.

The two-time president was talking shortly after the Supreme Court of Kenya validated the win of Dr. William Ruto as the fifth president of the republic of Kenya following a petition lodged by opposition leader Raila Odinga and Martha Karua.

Ruto is scheduled to be sworn into office on September 13.
