Kenya's Ousted President Warns Judiciary

Kenya’s president is promising to “fix” the judicial system a day after the Supreme Court nullified his re-election.
On Saturday President Uhuru Kenyatta also warned the chief justice and judiciary not to interfere with the electoral commission as the country prepares for a new presidential vote.
Kenyatta has accused the court of overturning the will of the people after he had been declared the winner of the August 8 election. The court on Friday said the electoral commission had committed irregularities in the vote and called for a new election within 60 days.
The judiciary has a “problem”, Kenyatta said in comments to elected officials from county assemblies. He also announced the start of his new campaign.
“We shall show you in 60 days that the will of the people cannot be overturned,” Kenyatta said. “We will come back and revisit this issue … Going forward, we must fix it.”
Kenyatta on Friday called the court “crooks”.
Opposition leader Raila Odinga had petitioned the court challenging Kenyatta’s win, claiming manipulation. He now wants the electoral commission disbanded.
The commission’s chairman has promised changes in personnel ahead of the vote and invited the prosecution of any staffer found to have manipulated results.
