President Ruto meets CJ Koome to resolve Executive-Judiciary standoff

President William Ruto on Monday morning held a meeting with Chief Justice Martha Koome at State House. Early this month President Ruto accused the Judiciary of teaming up with cartels to stall his legacy projects. On January 15, CJ Koome said that the Judiciary wrote to Ruto seeking an audience with the view to establishing the genesis of his complaints against them. The Head of State said he was ready for talks with Chief Justice Koome to address alleged corruption in the Judiciary. "I am ready for the conversation on how we are going to deal with vested interests, incompetence and corruption,” Ruto said.
