Monday, January 22, 2024 - Chief Justice Martha Koome has defied calls from some sections of Kenyans who opposed her suggestion to meet President William Ruto to end the impasse affecting the Executive and Judiciary
For the last month, Koome
has been walking on landmines after Ruto accused the Judiciary of being
corrupt.
To resolve the stalemate between
the Executive and Judiciary, Koome on Monday met the Head of State at State
House.
National Assembly Speaker Moses
Wetang’ula, Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu, Attorney General Justin
Muturi, and Solicitor Shadrack Mose were among those who attended the meeting.
Ruto has been accusing the
Judiciary led by Koome of being corrupt and issuing orders that are against his
government like stopping his universal health scheme and housing levy.
On her part, Koome has been
defending the judiciary, urging Ruto to table evidence of the corrupt judges.
On the other hand, opposition
supremo, Raila Odinga, has been opposing the meeting between Ruto and Koome, saying this will affect the independence of the Judiciary as enshrined in the
constitution.
