Media, public locked out of Justice Tunoi retirement case
Journalists and the public were on Friday locked out of a case in which embattled Supreme Court judge Philip Tunoi is seeking to extend his stay in the Judiciary.
Justice Tunoi’s lawyers asked Court of Appeal judges for a private hearing.
The seven-judge bench is hearing an appeal by Justice Tunoi against a High Court decision that all judges must retire at 70.
The appeal comes at a time when he is waiting for President Kenyatta to appoint a tribunal to investigate allegations that he received a Sh200 million bribe.
