Saturday, March 22, 2025 - The Supreme Court is on the spot after former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju wrote to Chief Justice Martha Koome, raising serious concerns about the conduct of five judges.
In a statement dated March 21st, 2025, Tuju
accused the judges of failing in their duty to uphold the rule of law and
ensure fair trial proceedings.
He revisited the 2022 presidential petition, criticizing the
judges for using terms like "hot air" and "wild goose
chase," which he claimed nearly pushed the country into chaos.
“The Supreme Court should have been more temperate in their
language while executing their solemn duty,” Tuju said, arguing that their
remarks only heightened tensions in an already fragile political environment.
Beyond their courtroom decisions, Tuju also accused some
Supreme Court judges of unprofessional behavior, alleging that videos
circulating on social media show them intoxicated in public.
“If you doubt it, I can send you the videos. These judges
demand respect, yet their conduct is shameful,” he asserted.
Tuju further warned that Kenya is at risk of instability,
pointing out that three of the world’s top ten failed states are in the East
African Community.
He cited ongoing security threats in Baringo, West Pokot,
Turkana, Lamu, and Mandera as signs of the country's growing fragility.
He also drew historical comparisons to the controversial
1857 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the Dred Scott case, which upheld slavery,
sparking civil unrest.
Additionally, Tuju linked his concerns to his ongoing legal
dispute with the East African Development Bank over a 27-acre Karen property,
accusing the judges of bias and procedural violations.
The former Rarieda MP called on CJ Martha Koome to address
these issues to restore public confidence in the judiciary.
