As a politician and businessman, I have been involved in litigation in one way or another. I have sued and also been sued.

In this regard, I can say without fear of contradiction that last week’s judgment against the BBI was a normal outcome of the court process. In fact, I must confess that the Judiciary has become bolder and more independent under the presidency of Uhuru Kenyatta. This is good for our democracy because it shows that our institutions of checks and balances have come of age; they are working and can be relied upon to be significantly independent.
