The CJ said that the Executive has frequently been disregarding court decrees amounting to almost Sh1 billion issued in different courts, something which Maraga said did not bode well for the constitutional democracy. “The government has willfully neglected to settle dozens of court decrees issued by various courts against the government,” he said. “In some of these cases, the victims have suffered paralytic injuries yet the government has failed to settle these decrees,” the CJ said. He called on the President to instruct the Attorney General to take stock of all the court decrees and orders against the government and start the process of satisfying them. Maraga accused President Kenyatta of refusing to meet him to discuss the stalled appointment of 41 judges proposed by the Judicial Service Commission.
