Kenya’s Chief Justice Martha Koome says the judiciary has written to President William Ruto seeking to address concerns he raised against some judges.
President Ruto has in recent days mounted a war against the judiciary, accusing some unnamed “corrupt” judges of working with the opposition to block his government’s projects.
Addressing a media conference last evening, Ms Koome said the attacks against the judiciary were setting up the country for chaos.
Opposition leader Raila Odinga has accused Mr Ruto of trying to intimidate judges while a group of lawyers staged protests last week condemning the president’s attacks.
The president, who came to power in September 2022, has come under criticism for introducing new taxes amid rising cost of living. END.
