A campaign to intimidate the
judiciary and eventually bring
down Chief Justice Willy
Mutunga was gathering pace
yesterday. The Star has
established that the the
National Conservative Forum
intends to launch a massive
attack on the judiciary and the
CJ to wear out Mutunga's
credibility and that of the
judiciary. According to
multiple sources, the forum
which is associated with
politicians allied to Deputy
Prime Minister Uhuru
Kenyatta and Eldoret North
MP William Ruto, is
composed of professionals,
some of whom were in the
'No' side during the 2010
referendum on the
constitution.
Yesterday, the forum held a
seminar at Panafric hotel in
Nairobi, where key speakers
launched scathing attacks on
the judiciary for advancing a
foreign agenda. The theme of
the workshop was 'Has
judicial activism and civil
society replaced the sovereign
will of the people and
become the alternative
government?' Sources said
the forum was a launchpad
for politicians allied to Uhuru
and Ruto to make concerted
calls for the CJ to resign or
call on President Kibaki to set
up a tribunal to investigate his
conduct. The sources revealed
that the workshop was a
precursor to a nationwide
political campaign to
intimidate the judiciary.
Yesterday, the forum's
founder Jeniffer Shamalla and
one of the speakers Charles
Kanjama refuted claims that
politicians close to the ICC
suspects were the sponsors
of the workshop.
So this Shamalla woman is the devil incarnate.....
TULIA.........UFUNZWE!
