Court of Appeal President Daniel Musinga has appointed a seven-judge bench to hear the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) appeal case.

Justice Musinga will preside over the case that will be heard from Tuesday next week.
The other appointed judges include Roselyne Nambuye, Hannah Okwengu, Patrick Kiage, Gatembu Kairu, Fatuma Sichale, and Francis Tuyoitt.
President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga launched a legal battle to save the BBI process, citing 36 grounds for the Court of Appeal to declare it constitutional.
The two gave a blow-by-blow account of why the judges should overturn a High Court ruling that declared the BBI unconstitutional, null and void.
The IEBC had also lodged a separate appeal.
The agency wants the Appeal Court to annul the High Court declaration that the three-member commission does not have a quorum.
Attorney-General Kihara Kariuki has raised 31 grounds of appeal.
