Speaking yesterday, Raila said
the meeting between Ruto and CJ Koome will compromise the independence of the
Judiciary.
Raila argued that the executive
has an active case in court and if Ruto meets the Chief Justice the case will
be compromised.
“The Chief Justice is talking about having a dialogue with the Executive which has got an active case in the court.
"That is how to compromise justice, let the judges do their thing independently.
"We want to tell the Chief Justice not to compromise the position
of the court.”
“She already took the position there is no need for dialogue.
"If I have a case in court I don’t need to go and
negotiate with the judges, either I am right or I am wrong,” said Raila.
The Azimio leader also said the
meeting would not only affect the Judiciary but also the entire country.
As a result, he called on
Kenyans to stand firm and protect the independent institutions that were
created by the constitution.
On Monday, Koome begged Ruto
for a sit-down over his recent corruption claims in the Judiciary, and the
president obliged.
