Lawyers have chided President Uhuru Kenyatta and DP William Ruto for reprimanding the Judiciary following the Al Ghurair tender case. LSK on Monday said accusations leveled against Chief Justice David Maraga are a breach of the constitutional principle of separation of powers. On Sunday, Uhuru and Ruto warned the judiciary, and in particular the CJ, over decisions that may jeopardise the August 8 elections. He said government’s continued silence on certain court decisions the court regarding the electoral process should not be construed to mean he was a coward. In a quick rebuttal on Sunday, CJ Maraga maintained that the Judiciary will continue making decisions based on the Constitution.
