The news of Supreme court’s decision to nullify Uhuru’s win in the August polls has spread far and wide, save for North Korea maybe.
Passed through some news websites and here are some comments I gathered from across africa:
Nigeria
Can dis happen in the zoo called Nigeria
Wow!!! What a Credit to democracy and independent Judiciary
Wonderful, It’s an eye opener to other African judicially especially Nigeria. APC be warned, 2019 is around the corner.
They are being tamed in more civilized countries like Kenya, not Nigeria.
Thank God the law work in some country in Africa but in Nigeria the justice system is a joke
No politician or party is worth worshipping.
The rule of law is supreme.
Congratulations to Kenya.
In Nigeria, before the Supreme Court judgment, EFCC will jump through the ceiling and recover 30 billion dollars. Ethnic champions will be chanting, leave our son alone, it is our turn. Religious clerics will be chanting, God sent him to save Nigeria. paid civil society will be chanting, "I stand with’'…The rest will be history.
Nigeria is a joke.
Good for tenets of democracy, it proves the point that principle of separation of power has not been defeated In some African states not like what we have in the zoo where the judiciary is arm twisted to do the bidding of the corrupt few at the center. Kenyans should be proud of their judiciary for this singular act.
Finally rogue John Kerry the head of international observers team in Kenya has been exposed for who he is, he thought it is Nigeria where he single handedly installed Buhari and Apc through the back door victory for democracy in Kenya
Zambia
In a democratic country, this cardinal. God bless Zambia.
What is John Kelly saying now? Shame on you America. You have been exposed.
This should have happend in Zambia but unfortunately we have a jelly lady as chief justice. It was clear to everyone that a lot of thing did not make sense on how a person a can without validation of all results. Further, dodged the court process and arrest an innocent person. We need a better generation of Zambians.
Maybe lets bring Kenyan judges to hear our elections. We have to many useless and comrpromised judges in Zambia even the speaker we should have a Kenyan speaker instead.
Zambian judicial system is corrupt and rotten. We needed this kind of bravery in Zambia also. After all judges are protected on whatever outcome. No candidate can harass them if results where nullified as they all remain powerless.
Have you seen the petition was heard in less than a WEEK!!! after the results were announced. Something to be learnt here by HH and his lumpen lawyers.
system is an excellent example to emulate by all involved. Hats off to Kenyan judges for their bravery and professionalism.
This is how a supreme court should act when neccessary, not the one you have there that corruption, bigotry and tribalism has infiltrated.
Zambia is a joke

Mpaka hapo hata kama uchaguzi usiporudia wamejaribu kuonyesha demokrasia inawezekana afrika mashariki
Huu ndo UKUDA wa nchi za AFRICA, Vijana hawana AJIRA, Kina mama wanateseka, PESA ZOTE ZINAPELEKWA Kwenye UCHAGUZI Masikini WANATESEKA. Hata huo UCHAGUZI wa MARUDIO hautakuwa PERFECT
Wajua naona kama naota vile, aisee wakenya akili kubwa EAC yote kitaamluma, kidemokrasia, kiuchumi, etc.
Aisee Kenya mahakama zao ziko more advanced kuliko zote EAC. The court ruling imeonekana ikitendeka. Kaimu jaji umeona wenzako wanavyosimamia professionalism?? Jaji kasema uchaguzi ulikuwa " null, void and invalid "ahaaa
