"One day my good friend Uhuru will look back at this process and cover his head in shame."

Former Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria now says President Uhuru Kenyatta will one time regret taking the political stand he has taken as he exits the office.

In a statement after Lawyer Githu Muigai Made his Submission at the Supreme Court of Kenya, Kuria accused the outgoing President of sowing division at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission.

"I really pray that Uhuru Kenyatta is listening to Prof Githu Muigai- I doubt as its too early for that. I never thought it would be Uhuru leading the bastardization of institutions and public officers. Kweli some behaviours are contagious," he said.

"One day my good friend Uhuru will look back at this process and cover his head in shame. Yaani Uhuru has outdone Raila in dividing IEBC Commissioners and stigmatizing the institution?"

In his submission at the Supreme Court of Kenya, Lawyer Githu Muigai began his presentation by refuting claims that the electoral process was completely messed from the onset.

Githu, in his presentation, put to task Azimio Presidential Candidate Raila Odinga's lawyers questioning why they were quick to call the election shambolic.

He said most of the lawyers presenting their arguments in court are elected Governors, Senators, and MPs.

"As we sit here, there are no less than three governors, four senators and 4 MPs elected under this election. Are they happy with the results? If they are, how then is that this election is irredeemably flawed? That is the use of hyperbole," he said.

In their submission on Wednesday, the lawyer had argued that electoral process was completely flawed and that everything that could go wrong went wrong.

They painted a picture of a commission that was not in a capacity to hold a credible election hence the need to nullify the presidential results.

Githu however dismissed the submission saying the team did not provide evidence to support the claims. He asked the seven-judge bench to dismiss the case.
