Reports from the Supreme Court indicate that an ouster motion against Chief Justice David Maraga put forward by Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu has not been withdrawn.
The petition which President Uhuru Kenyatta had requested to be withdrawn will be considered by the judges' employer, Judicial Service Commission (JSC) and a verdict issued.
KTN News reported that the JSC was locked up in a meeting at the Supreme Court grounds on Tuesday morning with a final decision expected to be delivered, through a press statement, by close of day.
The Commission has received a total of six petitions against the Supreme Court judges with the latest ones having been filed on Monday against DCJ Philomena Mwilu and Justice Isaac Lenaola.
