The Court of Appeal President Daniel Musinga was finally empaneled to the seven-judge Bench that will hear the BBI appeal. There are many who believe the Court of Appeal, named “the graveyard of progressive jurisprudence” by its critics, will resuscitate the BBI. Those believing this are living in a fool’s paradise.

Firstly, unlike the High Court bench, which anyone who had bothered to follow the judicial philosophy of the presiding judges, would have predicted reggae would be stopped, this empanelled bench is largely unpredictable.
