He is a principal and he has declared his "powers", he looked like those Chicken WHO's feathers have all been plucked from the neck, taking on a handsome Jogoo, with a full crown, ujinga mingi sana.

You are way out of order. Allow me to speak like a Kikuyu.

We should be out celebrating the birth of an independent judiciary.

Our best case scenario is having a Kikuyu president upto 2022.

After that, it will be a miracle for Kenya to have another Kikuyu president.

The only thing to protect us is a strong constitution and strong institutions.

Have we already forgotten judge tuiyott in Nakuru ? Ama we are too young ?

When the ethnic clashes escalated in Molo, kikuyus who were ex-military would be arrested and tortured to confess to organising the attacks. They all ended in Tuiyott's court where he dished death sentences with reckless abandon.

No, He said anyone who questions them will be held responsible for anything that happens to them bla, bla and that Savages bla bla, in short, they are holy and beyond reproach and mwananchi should be shot dead for carrying twigs.

This man has totally lost it. This man has been called "My Lord" so many times that he has actually started believing that he is one. He saw a few demonstrations in his support in Kisii and actually started thinking that his mandate comes from the people like he said today.

The only people whose mandate comes from the people are politicians and that is why they can afford to say anything they want. Judges and all Judicial officers have a mandate that comes from Parliament, Judicial Service Commission and the Executive. A president and the JSC can form a tribunal to investigate and remove judges. It is much harder to remove someone who has been elected.

By doing this press conference Maraga has opened himself up to be treated like a politician. There are no rules and protocols in the political world. A wise judge should only speak to the public in the court. The moment he removed his robe and called a press conference, all gloves are off.

Oh, ok. But I understand his threats today were directed at executive and parliament. Have these 2 arms of govt done anything in recent days they haven’t been doing all along to warrant such strong reaction?

Then I guessed the JSC was meeting today in part to discuss the damning petition. The petition on his 2 colleagues is an indictment on SC so I would have expected him to at bare minimum reaffirm that he and his colleagues are beyond reproach and open to scrutiny any time any day in accordance with constitution and rule of law. This is very important for me. That he chose to totaly ignore the elephant in the room and instead issue threats to parliament and executive for no apparent reason, speaks volumes

By the way, understandably the unspoken msg from the presser is that JSC will not recommend tribunal (formed by executive and report sent to parliament) for the 2 judges 'coz judiciary is indipendent'. That other part on 'ultimate price' means they are ready to face the consequences by so doing. The part on 'referendum' was pointer to the weakness in katiba on this matter...coz..if JSC doesn't recommend tribunal the matter ends there ...unless you people of kenya change the constitution

Here is a man who can't/or not used to pressure. what if he was in Chebukati's shoes? I think he would implode. For now, someone tell him old men don't get mad. At least not in Savage country They get even.
