By ABIUD OCHIENGMore by this AuthorPresident Uhuru Kenyatta has urged the Judiciary to prioritise determination of cases that have stalled government projects worth billions of shillings, even as he called on judicial officers to enhance the fight against corruption. Mr Kenyatta said some individuals have been using courts to block government projects, and in the process denying Kenyans essential services. He said the Judiciary must strive to fight corruption and individuals bent on using the courts to perpetuate the vice. It is estimated that state projects worth over Sh350 billion are currently stalled at various stages as a result of court cases. Mr Maraga said: “I am keen to ensure that litigation does not derail the development agenda in this country,” he said.
