Only seven months to end of the Chief Kadhi's term, debate has intensified among the Muslim community on possible successor.
Already sharp differences have merged about the process, with some clerics claiming the seat has since 1852 been a preserve of one coastal community.
Kenya Muslims National Advisory Council national chairman Sheikh Juma Ngao yesterday said the process to recruit the holder of the office should be competitive.
"We will move to court to block unfair selection. Muslims from all the 47 counties who qualify should be given an opportunity. This cannot be a seat for the Coast only,” he said.
