National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale has said he will present a notice of motion to discuss the conduct of Justice George Odunga in parliament in January.
This is after he was criticized by the Law Society of Kenya, Chief Justice David Maraga and CORD principals over his criticism of Justice Odunga.
“I will be on record as the first Member of Parliament in independent Kenya to bring a motion to discuss the conduct of a sitting judge which is legal in the constitution under article 94,” said Duale.
Duale said that any citizen can petition the Judicial Service Commission for the removal of the Chief Justice or any other judge as per the constitution.
“I would want to remind Maraga that any citizen can petition the Judicial Service Commission for his removal or any other judge as per the constitution," Said Duale
Justice George Odunga has made several rulings overturning government positions for example during the controversial security amendments, where he dismissed a number of clauses as unconstitutional which has left him at war with the government.
Duale's move has been heavily criticized as a threat to the independence of the judicial, integrity of the judge and an abuse of the parliamentary privilege.
