Kimani Ichung’wa calls on Ruto not to allow his government to be sabotaged by the Judiciary

National Assembly Majority leader Kimani Ichung’wah has urged President William Ruto not to allow his administration to be sabotaged by cartels in the Judiciary. 

Speaking on Saturday, Ichung’wah urged President William Ruto to exercise his authority and prevent the Judiciary from what he termed as undermining the administration.

The Kikuyu MP claimed that the Judiciary is operating beyond its mandated role and thereby hindering the work of the Executive and Legislature.

“You Excellency, I want to plead with you, don’t allow your government to be sabotaged or to be undermined by cartels and masters of state capture. Kaa ngumu Rais,” he said in Meru.

The Kikuyu MP insisted that the decisions the judiciary has made recently are akin to judicial overreach. 

“What we are seeing today has nothing to do with independence of the Judiciary. What we are seeing today is they have overreached their mandate,” he claimed.

In addition, Ichung’wah hinted at the possibility of the State slashing funds allocated to the Judiciary should it continue ‘foiling’ Ruto’s development agenda plans.

“Najua ulifanya mkutano na hawa watu na ulisema utawaongezea pesa lakini kama unataka kuwaongezea pesa na hiyo pesa itakuja kufanyiwa budget kwa Bunge na mahali pesa inatoka ni kwa ushuru na hii Judiciary ndio inasimamisha ushuru….mimi naona hapo tutakosana kidogo. Ikifika Bunge tutafungafunga,” Ichung’wah said.

“Please allow us ata sisi tupige msasa budget ya nchi yote. Tuangalie kama Judiciary wanapata pesa na hiyo pesa inafanya nini kuchangia ajira ya vijana wa Kenya.”

His remarks come a day after the Court of Appeal in a ruling said the mandatory Housing Levy was illegal.

President Ruto said the decision will be appealed. 

Ichung’wah said that despite the Chief Justice holding a meeting with Judiciary leadership to find a solution to concerns he had raised, that seems to not have helped.
