While in previous ages, the Treasury decided the ultimate budget allocations between Ministries Departments and organs of state, now Parliament was to be the ultimate determinant of this critical question. What was interesting in the explanation of the budget cuts was the link of this budget slash to the repeat elections. The Judiciary is unable to operate sufficient courts, and is generally crippled in its ability to fund any improvements in the judicial infrastructure. If indeed the judicial budget cuts were a response to the Supreme Court ruling, this would represent a non-acceptable ultimate abuse of power. Either way, Parliament must “revisit” the budget and properly fund the Judiciary for the benefit of its customers; the Kenyan public.
