Mr Ringera was expected to return from an overseas trip either on Sunday or Monday. The Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims secretary-general Adan Wachu said: “In Islam, one thing is very clear. If the masses are against you and you are a leader, then you have no choice but to quit.”
Separately, three human rights campaigners welcomed Dr Wanjala’s resignation on Friday and urged Mr Ringera and Ms Sichale to follow suit.
Right decision
Kenya National Commission on Human Rights vice-chairman Hassan Omar, International Centre for Policy and Conflict director Wainaina Ndung’u and Kenya Human Rights Commission programme officer Davis Malombe said Dr Wanjala took the right decision.
Former Justice minister Martha Karua also called on judge Ringera and Ms Sichale to resign and said President Kibaki should listen to Kenyans in future before making public appointments to avoid humiliation.
In Mombasa, Information assistant minister Dhado Godana said Mr Kilonzo and AG Amos Wako were to blame for the controversy over Mr Ringera’s reappointment.

Somebody correct me if am wrong but the last time I checked, parliament was supposed to create laws while the courts enforce them. Has this changed or is parliament usurping the power of the courts as well?

The two cases should be filed under a certificate of urgency and be concluded by the time Parliament resumes from recess. Meanwhile let Mr Githongo send his application to the advisory board .

Ringera,why should you wait to be fired ..... save your face and gracefully resign. You are such a thorn in the flesh. You enjoy the adverse publicity?? You will face humiliation that might send you into depression.

I think Ringera should show his good faith and leave. He has been one of the major obstacle aginst the fight againt corruption. His record speak for itself. For anyone who has read Githongo's book " it is our turn to eat" knows he asked Githongo to go slow on the investigations. come the next election Kenyan people should then force MPs to pay taxes if not they loose their seats.
