Chief Justice David Maraga has come out to inform Kenyans that a letter allegedly wrote by him asking the Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu to step aside is fake.
The letter, which is doing rounds on the internet has received mixed reactions among Kenyans.
In the letter, Maraga allegedly asks Mwilu who has been accused of various counts of corruption, not paying her taxes to step down from her office until she clears her name.
“In addition with the dignity and reputation of the Judiciary at stake, I would like to suggest that you consider taking some time away from the office until this unfortunate matter is dispensed with, ”reads a section of the letter.
However, DCJ Mwilu’s lawyer, Nelson Havi has asked those involved to make sure that the author of this fake letter be brought to justice the same way DCJ Mwilu was charged after using her official letterhead in applying for a loan in Imperial Bank Limited, which was considered wrong.
“Could you put our taxes to good use and get to the bottom of this letter and the hashtag #MwiluTheWicked,” Havi said.
The author of the letter is still not known.
