Former Makadara Member of Parliament Bernard Mutura has advised Kenyans not to expect any conviction in the ongoing corruption case involving Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu.
Mwilu was on Tuesday arrested and arraigned to face corruption charges but was released on a Sh5million shillings bond.
The case was on Friday suspended until October 22 by the Anti Corruption Court Chief Justice Lawrence Mugambi, with Mutura noting that she will finally be acquitted of the charges.
Speaking on Radio Jambo Saturday morning, the ex-legislator termed it unrealistic to expect the judiciary to jail one of its own.
‘’Hakuna haki itapatikana kule kortini maana majaji hawawezi mhukumu mmoja wao ambaye pia ni mkubwa wao (no justice should be expected. The Judiciary should not be expected to victimize its own),’’ he said.
Her arrest came after an approval from the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Noordin Haji who has since expressed confidence that he has enough evidence against the Supreme Court Vice President.
Mwilu is accused of, among others, tax evasion, receiving 12 million shillings from the troubled Imperial Bank and abuse of office.
