Chief Justice David Maraga and his team are once again under siege after Kenyans took their frustration on social media platforms, terming the Judiciary an institution that lacks leadership.
The frustrated Kenyans claimed that recent happenings in the corridors of justice open a fresh can of worms into the leadership of the justice system.
Here are some of the reactions.
Everytime we hear about Maraga he is always addressing media from Mombasa, when does he ever work??#FailedJudiciaryLeadership pic.twitter.com/jBAeQUVEVR— Jake Owiti (@OwitiJake) May 16, 2018.
The judgment at the High Court in Malindi decreed that only the Land & Environment Court has jurisdiction over land disputes #FailedJudiciaryLeadership— Aqua Mist Ventures (@Aquaprentise) May 16, 2018.
Let the church elder resign followed by the non-eloquent grandmother. The two though claim are not corrupt will burst our justice each day a low-class Kenyan runs to them for help#FailedJudiciaryLeadership— Eng Ephraim Kenny (@EphraimKennynde) May 16, 2018.
#FailedJudiciaryLeadership They backlog cases with an intension of corrupting the poor. Rich man's Case's are not backlogged.— Jimmy Akiba. (@JimmyAkiba) May 16, 2018.
The magistrate who granted the @DCI_Kenya illegal request to hold @C_NyaKundiH must be immediately be terminated n investigated. That thing is unconstitutional, rogue judiciary officials should be thrown to jail. @DCI_Kenya @ODPP_KE stop this nonsense #FailedJudiciaryLeadership— Bel Akinyi (@BelAkinyii) May 16, 2018.
He said he expected that one judge among the 28 judges recently appointed will be posted to Bungoma but it never happened."I think we have been taken it for granted for too long and we think this is the only way forward," said Makali. #FailedJudiciaryLeadership— Mwangi Francis (@its_MwangiF) May 16, 2018.
People blame the institution but the fact is the persons who are at the judiciary are without integrity and lack interest in serving the public #FailedJudiciaryLeadership— Kennedy Gichuru (@gichurukenny) May 16, 2018.
Justice on sale. In Kenya, you can walk away from a murderer as long as you have money #FailedJudiciaryLeadership pic.twitter.com/5rTunq7Uue— Vincent Osiemo Keroro (@vinny_wa_) May 16, 2018.
#FailedJudiciaryLeadership“We have had a mass transfer of magistrates and judges with no replacements. Generally, for the last one year, the High Court here has not been working so you can see that has really affected practice among the advocates.” Eldoret Lawyers said— JOE MUHAHAMI (@Muhahami) May 16, 2018.
Judiciary is no more independent, it has been absorbed #FailedJudiciaryLeadership— @Pontepontif (@Pontepontif1) May 16, 2018.
@dkmaraga has reduced the judiciary to a retrogressive institution. Recent cases of lack of judges, case backlog, the acquittal of convicts among others prove beyond doubt that the lord of errors has no capabilities in running the institution #failedjudiciaryleadership— Denis Okaduyu (@denisokaduyu) May 16, 2018.
