You are courting anarchy and chaos by attacking the Judiciary - CJ MARTHA KOOME warns RUTO

Tuesday, January 16, 2024 - Chief Justice Martha Koome has castigated President William Ruto and his deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, for attacking the Judiciary.

Addressing the press on Monday, Koome, who is also the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) chairperson, stated that it is bad for the Head of State to attack the judiciary since it will bring chaos and anarchy into the country.

"It is regrettable that the leadership of the Executive and the Legislature, in the recent public declarations, have threatened not to obey court orders because of corruption. 

"These threats and declarations are extremely serious and a monumental assault on the Constitution. 

"It is also an assault on the rule of law and the ability of the nation and can lead to chaos and anarchy in our motherland," Koome said.

The President of the Judiciary also slammed the President for making corruption allegations against judicial officers without following the right channels.
