Judiciary Denies Reports of Deputy Chief Justice Mwilu and Smokin Wanjala Resignation
The Judiciary has dismissed social media reports alleging the resignation of two Supreme Court judges.
This is after a Twitter account purported to have information about the stepping down of Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu and Supreme Court judge Smokin Wanjala.
The account alleged that the two judges had submitted resignation notices to the Registrar of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) with no reasons.
But in a tweet, the Judiciary poured cold water on the reports, terming them as fake.
Justices Mwilu and Wanjala were part of the seven-judge bench of the Supreme Court that upheld President-elect William Ruto’s victory in the August 9th presidential election.
The judges ruled that there was no credible evidence of fraud, interference or failure of the electoral commission’s technology.
The court also held that there were valid reasons for the postponement of the gubernatorial elections in certain areas (some of which were perceived Odinga strongholds) and that there were no grounds to conclude that the postponement had affected voter turnout.

Leave the judges alone! It should be criminal to mess up with our judges!
BS no human being is above reproach and where there is smoke there is fire.So called unity maybe the level of corruption has not spared them either and there was nothing like a unanimous decision rather a coercion or threats and here they lied they worked the whole weekend maybe arguing about who gets what amount now that the decision had already been made.Maybe these two got greedy and want out
All of them judges need to resign led by Koome. They all let our country down and now they are issuing silly threats after they compromised the election. Whoop doi, who in the hell cares about fake judges.
