Supreme Court judges have now moved to court to fight petitions filed to remove them from office.
Chief Justice Martha Koome, her deputy Philomena Mwilu and three others have filed separate cases before the High Court against the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).
Koome, Mwilu, and Justices Njoki Ndung'u, Mohamed Ibrahim and Isaac Lenaola are seeking to quash petitions filed by lawyer Nelson Havi, former Rarieda Member of Parliament Raphael Tuju, and lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi's associates, who want them out of office over alleged gross misconduct and incompetence.
The CJ asked the High Court to quash the decision requiring her to respond to the two petitions Havi and Ahmednasir's associates filed.
