Former Chief Justice Willy Mutunga has launched a stinging attack on the Kenyan political elite.bRead: Will Kenyan elite ever grow up? In an article in the Siasa section of today’s Weekend Star, he accuses losing political factions of blaming the Supreme Court in both 2013 and 2017, instead of trying to build the nation. The elite factions have used "Mahakama ya Juu" (the Supreme Court) as their political punching bag Justice, according to factions, is only done when the apex court decides in their favour," Mutunga writes. "Since someone has to lose, the losing party does not spare the court and in turn, aggravates the already shaky public confidence for the apex court," he states. "There was no need for any applause as we in the Supreme Court were just doing our jobs," he says.
