Interior Cabinet secretary Dr. Fred Matiang'i has hit out at the judiciary for being incompetent.
The fiery CS who was speaking exclusively to the Daily Nation said that the judiciary is not conducting its mandate in a fair and credible manner and has called on Kenyans to engage in discussions over the quality and kind of the Judiciary in the country.“Time has come for Kenyans to have a robust debate on the quality and kind of Judiciary we have. We are pretending that we have a credible Judiciary — we do not have one. I am one of the people who have been frustrated by their blatant bias. And we have clear cases of incompetence; we are so frustrated by the behaviour of this Judiciary,” said Matiang'i.Dr Matiang'i cited cases of police officers who were vindicated against different crimes including corruption and given court orders to return back to work.“In the last six months, we have disciplined 172 police officers and all of them got court orders that have enabled them to come back to work,” he said.Matiang'i also said that the government has not been treated fairly in the recent cases against the opposition in which the opposition emerged victorious.He further said that the government has complete respect for court rulings and it wasn't fair to criticize them for court orders they hadn't been served.“We have complete respect for the courts and their rulings will always be obeyed as long as they are served. It is not fair to criticise the government for not obeying an order when it has not been served,” he said.
