While the Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and all other laws, including international law, are subject to it, the same Constitution recognises the place of international law as part of the law of Kenya, to the extent that the said international law does not contradict the provisions of the Constitution. In this respect, while the sovereignty of the Republic of Kenya is a paramount constitutional edict, the same Constitution binds the respondents to certain National Values and Principles of Governance which, at Article 10 thereof, include the rule of law. Abiding by the rule of law certainly includes participating in court proceedings in which the respective courts have affirmed their jurisdiction over the subject matter, despite a party’s objections to the same having been overruled.
