The Court of Appeal has been forced to adjourn the Building Bridges Initiative hearing due to a power blackout.
The hearing of the appeal will resume on Thursday.
Court of Appeal President Justice Daniel Musinga who also chairs the seven-judge bench said that they had been informed that the generator which was supposed to have automatically turned on also has a problem.
"What we are going to do because it’s 15 minutes to the time we would have adjourned, we want to adjourn because of lack of power and with that, the court will adjourn until tomorrow," said Justice Musinga.
The hearing is on its second day of hearing of the appeal.

A High Court ruling a few weeks ago termed the Building Bridges Initiative referendum process as unconstitutional, null and void.
Earlier this month, President Kenyatta, Raila, the Office of the Attorney General, and IEBC filed a separate appeal contesting various parts of a High Court decision that termed BBI unconstitutional.
The appellants want the Court of Appeal to find that the High Court erred in its decision and reverse the ruling. As it stands, the BBI process has been put on hold, until the case is heard and determined.
The seven judges include; Justice Daniel Musinga – Chairperson, Justice Patrick Kiage, Justice Francis Tuyoitt, Justice Fatuma Sichale, Justice Roselyne Nambuye, Justice Hannah Okwengu and Justice Gatembu Kairu.
