The High Court has cautioned lawyer Nelson Havi against disrespecting the judiciary, following his remarks during a court session on Friday concerning the cases on removal of all seven Supreme Court judges.
A three-judge bench comprising Justices Charles Kariuki, Lawrence Mugambi, and Bahati Mwamuye, presiding over seven consolidated petitions challenging the Judicial Service Commission's (JSC) consideration of complaints seeking the ouster of the apex court judges, took issue with Havi's strong-worded response after being informed that his application to disqualify them would be heard in October. "This is a matter concerning the judges of the Supreme Court.
It is prioritised as urgent.
What can be more urgent to this court?" Havi challenged, urging the court to reconsider the hearing date.
