Kericho Senator Aaron Cheruiyot has questioned what he has called the onslaught on the Kenyan Judiciary.
In a tweet on Tuesday, the outspoken governing Jubilee legislator appeared to cast aspersions on the motivations on the sustained attacks on the justice system.
Cheruiyot wondered whether the attacks were aimed at forcing the judges to sing a certain tune, and to tamper with the independence of the judiciary.
He urged the judges not to cave into criticism directed their way, adding that they should ensure they are guided by nothing but the law.
"What is the motivation behind this onslaught on the judiciary ? Is it a reaction to the state of judiciary address by David Maraga or an attempt to straitjacket judges into a particular campaign. Stand firm and be guided by law and nothing else," Senator Cheruiyot tweeted.
His intervention comes amid blistering criticism of the perceived failure by the Judiciary to expedite cases.
Among those who have taken aim at the Kenyan criminal-justice system is the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga.
In an interview with NTV's Joseph Warungu on Sunday, the former prime minister pointed at the rot in the judiciary, suggesting that the slow pace of corruption cases is an indication that there are issues in the system.
