We walked out of Supreme Court @Kenyajudiciary #BBI appeal after the court made a decision to exclude our clients the 74th,75th &76th respondents from highlighting their submissions
The Supreme Court @Kenyajudiciary reasoned that because our clients joined the case in the High court as amici curiae (friends of the court) they remain so before the Supreme Court yet the appellants are named our clients as respondents #BBI
Our position is that we were named as respondents the Court of appeal and now in the Supreme Court @Kenyajudiciary and we participated as respondents in the Supreme Court in December 2021 when we successfully made an application to consolidate the appeals #BBI
We therefore submitted that the supreme court @Kenyajudiciary cannot turn around and lock us out having entertained us as respondents in previously #BBI
In any event no litigant or interested party should be locked out of hearing or treated in a discriminatory manner especially in a court of last resort @Kenyajudiciary #BBI
The big question is what harm would the highlighting of our clients submissions done, should a court of law bar a litigant whether an amicus curiae or interested party from oral arguements having allowed them to make written submissions #BBI
lawyers sit in court to listen to and respond to arguements and therefore having been denied the opportunity to make oral submissions which reduced us to spectators , we had no further role and remaining in the court would be of no use to our clients @Kenyajudiciary #BBI
Our clients written submissions are before the supreme court and the court promised to look at them so we awit and see…@Kenyajudiciary #BBI
