The decision came after several complainants asked for a separate panel to listen to the case.
They claimed their right to be heard was violated when the first three judges’ bench in Kerugoya refused to resign despite allegations of bias and conflict of interest, which was said to affect their impartiality.
One request submitted by activist Enock Aura through his attorney Harrison Kinyanjui, called for the existence of a bench of five judges, saying the case raised important legal issues that required a larger panel.
The appeals were about whether the Deputy Chief Justice had a constitutional authority to form the Kerugoya bench, which refused to prevent the swearing -in of Kindiki.
