Chief Justice David Maraga has warned Law practitioners against bribing Judges and Magistrates to influence the outcome of court matters.
Speaking on Monday during the admission of 125 new lawyers to the roll of advocates, Maraga asserted his commitment to fight graft in the Judiciary, saying that remained his core agenda.
"Lawyers must not believe that judicial officers must be bribed as a short-cut to winning cases for their clients. In such cases, both the lawyer bribing the judicial officer and the person receiving it are guilty in the same breath," he said.
Justice Maraga said the judiciary must regain back its credibility and integrity, thereby winning the public faith and trust in the judicial system.
"Judicial integrity and the fight against judicial corruption is at the top of my priorities, Kenyans must have faith in the Judiciary as the first and last call for justice whenever there are disputes between them or with the State," he noted.
