Despite complex process of removal of Chief Justice or other Supreme Court judges from office, the reality might dawn on David Maraga following a landmark ruling that nullified Uhuru Kenyatta’s election.
On Friday, four judges in the Supreme Court including Maraga voted in favour of nullification of presidential election, a move that did not go down well with Uhuru.
At Burma market Uhuru said that sovereignty of the people could not be held at ransom with Maraga and his bunch of ‘thieves’, a statement which has received wide criticism.
A tireless president while at Nakuru on Saturday reiterated his statement adding that something ‘quick; had to be fixed after elections.
“Maraga and his colleges cannot sit and deny Kenyans their will. That cannot happen and they should be ready for a tough war.
“I only fear God and the rule of law. Six people cannot define the destiny of Kenyans. Something must be fixed after elections and they should be ready for me,” said Uhuru in apparent reference to what may meet judges who opposed his election.
With Jubilee’s majority in parliament, Maraga, Smokin Wanjala, Philomena Mwilu and Isaac Lenaola could be fighting to secure their jobs should Uhuru win.
