Kikuyu Member of Parliament Kimani Ichung’wa now wants Chief Justice David Maraga to retire or face impeachment.
The Jubilee lawmaker claimed that the Chief Justice is tired, and accused him of causing a lot of chaos by nullifying President Uhuru Kenyatta’s win in the August 8 general elections.Speaking during an interview on Hot 96 on Thursday, the lawmaker claimed that Justice Maraga is under siege and the Judiciary is now being run by cartels.“He is tired and he completely lost the control of the Judiciary. The judiciary is in the hands of cartels and I think somebody called them the wakora network and that wakora network is real. It is there, it is the one running the Judiciary. Maraga is under siege,” said the legislator.Ichung’wa asked CJ Maraga to let someone energetic lead the Judiciary, adding that the government would be happy to appropriate money for his early retirement.“He has I think less than two years to retire and we will be happy to appropriate money for his early retirement package. He can allow somebody else; somebody more energetic, somebody who is focused, somebody who will not play to the whim of cartels to run the judiciary, and restore our judiciary to what it ought to be,” he added.
