He expressed that his early retirement would also enable the country to avoid a political and constitutional crisis come next year's elections.
In February this year, the Chief Justice urged the President, his deputy, governors and MPs to volunteer themselves for lifestyle audits as a “true test of leadership against corruption”.
Dr Mutunga observed that voluntary forensic audits are a sure means to gauge commitment by leaders in the war against corruption.
