Three High Court judges have dismissed a request by former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Nelson Havi to recuse themselves from hearing seven petitions seeking the removal of all Supreme Court judges, including Chief Justice Martha Koome.

The bench, comprising Justices Charles Kariuki, Lawrence Mugambi, and Bahati Mwamuye, ruled that Havi’s application was misconceived and without merit.
