[Collins Kweyu, Standard]The High Court decision that dealt a blow to the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) has opened another can of worms in the strained relationship between the Judiciary and the Executive. The judges in their ruling declared Uhuru out of order for violating Chapter Six of the Constitution. “To me the judgment was politics from the bench, which is going to worsen the already existing wars between the Judiciary and the Executive. “This disregard of court orders by the president is part of the pattern by the Executive to undermine the Judiciary,” the former CJ said. As a result of the bad blood between the two arms, the Judiciary has been complaining about budgetary cuts from the Executive to punish them for their decisions against the government.
