Nairobi residents have reacted differently to the arrest of Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mbete Mwilu.
Majority of residents have lauded the arrest saying she should face the wrath of the law if she indeed committed the corruption allegations being leveled against her.
“The DCJ is not an exception in the war against corruption and should face the law if she stole from public coffers,” Martin Mutua, a bodaboda operator said.
Mutua said that Kenyans are tired of corruption and want their stolen money back.
“DPP Noordin Haji is doing a good work and should sweep through the Judiciary,” Mercy Cherono, a supermarket attendant said.
Cherono claimed that the judiciary is the obstacle in the fight against corruption and impunity.
“She should be forced to return the public money if she stole,” Dennis Momanyi, a student at a city university said.
Momanyi said that Kenyans have confidence in the ongoing war against corruption.
“CJ Maraga should bring his house to order, some of these judges and magistrates must be wiped out,” Damaris Kimani, a grocer in the city said.
Kimani said that billions that have been swindled through corruption scandals must be returned.
“We want to see the money being returned, arrest alone is not adding value,” she said.
“Justice Mwilu should be given time to defend herself, personally I think she is being framed,” Albert Kitheka, bodaboda operator said.
Mwilu was arrested by Criminal Investigation detectives at her Supreme Court offices on Tuesday.
She was however granted Sh5 Million temporary bond pending her appearance in court on Wednesday to plead to corruption charges leveled against her.
