President Uhuru Kenyatta now says the Supreme Court should have ordered a recount of the presidential vote to determine the winner instead of nullifying the entire election.
The Head of State, who has been accused of demeaning and threatening the court, said he has no apologies for his attacks as he felt the judiciary had denied him a clean win."The Supreme Court committed a crime against me. They meted out an injustice against me. Who would one not be angry when he is openly robbed as I and Kenyans were?" he said during his campaign in Kajiado County.
He added: "Nothing would have been easier for the court than to order a recount of the vote to determine the will of the people. The democratic right of Kenyans to exercise their sovereign will cannot be subverted by four people."

He dismissed claims by NASA candidate Raila Odinga and his team that his attacks on Justice David Maraga amounted to attacking the Kisii community.
He said it was hypocritical for Raila to incite members of the Kisii community against him.
"He was in Mombasa, where he equally attacked the seven judges of the Supreme Court, including Justice Maraga. He has equally been leading vicious attacks against Matiang'i. Had he forgotten that he is also a Kisii?" he asked. Why President Uhuru Kenyatta says Supreme Court Should Have Ordered Vote Recount.
