Addressing the court, Chief Justice David Maraga said that they could not form quorum and thus they could not hear the case accordingly.
“As the two of us cannot form a quorum, this matter cannot be heard accordingly this morning,” said CJ David Maraga.
The Supreme Court is made up of seven judges and at least five judges have to be present for the court to have quorum to hear a case.
Here are some of the reactions:

The Supreme Court just quashed democracy. Quorum interrupted by some assassin. Y’all open your eyes. Kwani KQ hawana planes. @kot

The Supreme Court judges withdrawing their labour to the court is a travesty to the law. Their oath of office is then at question.

Just imagine that a Supreme Court judge misses the hearing because she can not get a flight to Nairobi. Kenyans we need to be serious.
