For me what should concern us is if what he is saying is true - that power brokers and wielders are frustrating and variously trying to get at him.

Debating if he should have said these things in a press conference or written a letter instead is to overly concern ourselves with form at the expence of substance.

For all I care, Maranga may be naive in certain aspects, but the powers that be ought to respect the office of CJ and if there is good grounds to remove him, do so as per law.
This infighting is inimical to administration of justice - which in turn is bad for the common man and the economy in general.


Appearing to rein in on the judiciary is to appear to be leaning towards autocracy.

Uhuru should straighten things out.

He has a legacy to protect.

There were new court rooms that were to be built through a World Bank funded project. The project has been on for several years and there is no sign that it will be finished as most monies have been paid with little to show for it. I hear the tendering process was a sham with the sponsor having to intervene.

The digitization program has never started despite funding from World Bank and this being one of the CJ's promise at the time of taking up his job. Tendering fr this project is an annual ritual.

Can someone highlight the achievements of Maraga. I am curious to know his effective side.

If he is alleging that he is co-equal to the Executive, he is mistaken. He is not even in line to succeed in the event of the top seat being vacated. He has positioned himself as a legal purist and servant of the public, similar to CBK Governor's position. This clamouring for the trappings of power are very wanting, particularly the clamour for a specific Masides 500. Why the need to be acknowledged at events, etc. Respect is in the halls of the Judiciary, where he is "king" and MUST be referred to as Your Honour, even by the President were he to be in his domain. Huko nje is political land. You can't be a purist of an endeavour, then commence fighting a political fight. You will lose BOTH battles. Most importantly, things like vehicle categorization are purely executive decisions. The executive can even reduce all CC ratings to 1600 CC and no-one can stop them.
Even this whole diatribe about submitting a budget for the Judiciary directly to Parliament is a joke. It will just sit there festering and be left out of allocations for that financial year.
He applied his version of judgment, which cannot be challenged in deciding to nullify. Judgment is a combination of reading the law, listening to supplicants' arguments and then making a decision after weighing a range of matters. He publicly and proudly stated that he was ready to deal with ALL consequences. If this is indeed a consequence, it is VERY miniscule (rising to no more than a set of mild irritations) and in no way diminishes his office.

Wueh! his rant brought back the wazua wahenga

Rant aside, they have never forgiven him for the ruling he made against Uhuruto in 2017.

The executive should respect the CJ and facilitate whatever his office requires for smooth operations. It is a big shame that a whole Chief Justice of the republic of Kenya cannot access a mere VIP lounge to host his CJ guests. Surely, the office of the CJ deserves some privileges otherwise the petty PS can award those privileges to his impoverished relatives in rural Mwea tabere irrigation scheme.(I speak in code).

The overly petty PS is well known and should be ashamed of himself.He should stop picking on modest and humble Maraga all the time. Atafute rika yake ama namna gani?

As for access to Mercedes benz S500, the CJ should not vex much. Papa Francis of Asisi rode on a 800CC Honda Fit when he visited Kenya and this did not take away the fact that he is the Pope.

The only way CJ Maraga can redeem himself is by jailing the corrupt. Maraga and his bandwagon of wakoras should expedite corruption cases and start sending these petty and corrupt CS's and PS's to the gallows chap chap.Otherwise, everything else he says ni kelele tu.

Check your human physiology right my fren! :)

HINT!

The President is violating the constitution and should be impeached.

So he is reporting Uhunye to us.Anataka tufanye nini?

Bookmarked to see if LSK has the balls to disbar the AG and Solicitor General of the Republic of Kenya. During Moi such office holders did worse but it never reached such levels. Yet the office holders then were firebrands in reforms and justice.

Kwanza AG and SG are their seniors

7 days is next week

Webe ni ure ure!!!!
