Makueni MP Daniel Maanzo has warned President Uhuru Kenyatta that he risks living a bad legacy if his officials in government continue disobeying court orders.
Maanzo says that Uhuru’s officers are likely to spoil his legacy when his term as president comes to an end in 2022.
Speaking at the Milimani Law courts on Thursday, the Wiper MP said that disobedience of court orders by some government officials is seating a wrong precedent for Uhuru’s administration and the country.
Maanzo said that disobedience of court orders will come to haunt president Uhuru Kenyatta when he retires.
“President Kenyatta must be careful and advise his officials to adhere and respect court orders if he wants to leave a legacy that will be remembered,” he said.
Maanzo said that the country is setting bad example to the rest of the world by infringing the rights of innocent Kenyans.He said that Kenyan for a long time has been seen as a country that respects the rule of law but the recent actions by some government official’s spells doom.
The Wiper MP while condemning the second time deportation of self-declared NRM leader Miguna Miguna said that government officials have no option but to respect the courts.
He said that failure to respect court orders will be plunging the country into chaos.
“The government must realize that no one is above the law and stop this shameful tactics that is portraying Kenya as a rogue state,” he said.
Maanzo said that Miguna did not deserve to be humiliated by the government.He said that the Canadian based lawyer is still a Kenyan citizen and his constitutional rights must be respected.
Miguna was deported to Dubai on Wednesday night days after jetting into the country from Canada where he had been deported earlier.
On Thursday, High court Judge George Odunga fined Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet and Immigration Principal Secretary Gordon Kihalangwa Sh200, 000 each as fine for court contempt.
