Kituo cha Sheria withdraws from Rawal case, cites cartels

Kituo Cha Sheria has withdrawn from the Deputy Chief Justice Kalpana Rawal's retirement age suit.

Representing the organisation, John Khaminwa said on Thursday that cartels wanted them out of the case, because of their support for judge Njoki Ndung'u , who issued temporary orders stopping Rawal's retirement.

Kituo cha Sheria, alongside activist Okiya Omtatah, had been enjoined in the case, which threatens to cripple the Supreme court.

Rawal has objected Chief Justice Willy Mutunga's decision to place her retirement age appeal before a five-judge bench and fast-track the hearing date.

The DCJ further objects Law Society of Kenya's bid to beenjoined in the case .

She is seeking to establish reasons behind the society's sudden interest yet it never expressed the same when the case was before lower courts.
