Former Chief Justice Willy Mutunga has launched a stinging attack on the Kenyan political elite. In an article in the Siasa section of Saturday'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. "There was no need for any applause as we in the Supreme Court were just doing our jobs," he says. Earlier on Friday, the President asked Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu to withdraw his petition against Chief Justice David Maraga.
