The advisory by the Chief Justice has elicited mixed reactions in the country. A section of MPs allied to William Ruto have called on president Kenyatta to dissolve parliament as advised by the CJ.
The Law Society of Kenya has also voiced its opinion on the matter. In a conference, LSK President Nelson Havi called on President Kenyatta to adhere to the advisory by the CJ and termed parliament unconstitutional.
President Kenyatta, William Ruto have remained silent on the matter. Opposition leader Raila Odinga called for sobriety on the matter and extensive dialogue.
Focus now shifts to President Kenyatta.
