Tuesday, January 9, 2024 - President William Ruto has maintained that the Judiciary is a crime scene and some judges should be investigated for engaging in corruption.
Speaking in Kapsuswa on Tuesday, Ruto said that he means
business and that corruption must end in the Judiciary.
He said that the independence of the Judiciary should not be
used as an excuse to deny Kenyans the development, which is their
constitutional right.
The President said the independence of the Judiciary should
also not mean that it is too important not to be questioned.
Ruto insisted that the judiciary still answers to the people
of Kenya.
"We are going to make sure that all of us respect the
sovereignty of the people of Kenya.”
“And when I say and I will repeat that we must deal firmly,
and decisively with corruption in the judiciary, I mean it and we are going to
deal firmly and decisively to root out corruption in the judiciary," he
said.
"Nobody should tell us that the independence of the
judiciary will be used to deny the people of Kenya their rights.”
“Nobody should tell us the independence of the judiciary
also means that the judiciary is holy or sacrosanct.”
“It is still subject to the people of Kenya."
Ruto added that the transformation of Kenya has been delayed
for many years and no one will stop him from moving the country forward.
