Judiciary flags reports alleging that a Supreme Court Judge threatening to resign over dictatorship
Judiciary flags reports alleging that a Supreme Court Judge threatening to resign over dictatorship.
The judge allegedly wished to quit due to dictatorship, according to a report that was extensively disseminated on websites and social media platforms.
The Supreme Court Judge allegedly accused his superiors of ignoring his requests and suggestions.
The Judiciary, however, vehemently denied the reports on Friday, March 3, and cautioned that they were completely untrue and without merit.
“Fake news alert,” Judiciary warned.
Judiciary’s clarification came against the backdrop of a Supreme Court ruling on an LGBTQ case concerning the National Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission.
The Non-Govermental Organization Co-Board Ordination was criticized by a five-judge panel for refusing to register a lesbian, homosexual, bisexual, and transgender lobby group.

Two Judges, Mohamed Ibrahim, and William Ouko disagreed with their colleagues, Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu, Njoki Ndung’u, and Smokin Wanajla on the matter which sparked a serious reaction among Kenyans.
“It would be unconstitutional to limit the right to associate through denial of registration of an association purely based on the sexual orientation of the applicants,” the ruling read in part.
Chief Justice Martha Koome and Justice Isaac Lenaola recused themselves from the case, having ruled over the same case at the Court of Appeal in 2019.
The judges, on March 22, 2019, also ruled in favour of the LGBTQ, National Gay, and Lesbian Human Rights Commission.
