Judicial officers are supposed to exercise judicial restraint.
What he has done appears to me to be judicial recklessness.
Such an officer portends risk to societal order.
As such his continued holding of office of judge might be untenable.
The next thing he might do is 'jail' Ruto arbitrarily!
Then the fires begin in Eld, going down to the lake.
That way, the greater good for Kenya is not served.
I thought we were a country of laws - if we don't comply to orders that are at our inconvenience what is this "greater good" then?
Of course.
But two wrongs don't amount to a right.
My view is that on this issue there were just too many wrongs.
I agree Court orders must be complied with.
If you dont agree with the orders (and on this I must say the latest orders bordered on the ridiculous) you seek to have them somewhat vacated.
To that extent the 'mandarins' erred.
But the judiciary out to exercise utmost restraint.
What prevented Odunga from giving the mandarins the benefit of the doubt and allow more time.
You cannot have a matter brought to you today, then in the next 24hours you are jailing the head of the Police, the head of Immigration, the head of DCI, etc etc
