Kenya’s Chief Justice Martha Koome has informed President William Ruto that the judiciary has written to him addressing concerns he raised against certain judges. Ruto has recently accused unnamed corrupt judges of collaborating with the opposition to impede his government’s projects.
Koome warned that these attacks on the judiciary could lead the country into chaos and anarchy, causing a constitutional crisis. She emphasized the need for dialogue to prevent further escalation. Opposition leader Raila Odinga accused Ruto of attempting to intimidate judges, while a group of lawyers staged protests condemning the president’s actions.
