Chief Justice David Maraga was conspicuously missing at Building Bridges Initiative launch the Bomas of Kenya on Wednesday

Maraga appears to have made good his threat to boycott key state functions in what he termed as lack of respect for his office.

It is not clear if Maraga was invited and snubbed the event or was left out altogether.

 
 

On November 4,  Maraga vowed not to attend some state functions unless the government starts treating him and the Judiciary with respect.

"Unless I am treated with the respect I deserve, I will choose state functions to attend," CJ David Maraga said during a press conference.

"The CJ is not accorded the respect accorded to his office.. CSs and PSs are cleared to enter in places before the Chief Justice." 

Kenya will see the return of the position of Prime Minister if the Building Bridges Initiative Taskforce proposals are to be implemented in full.

The BBI team appeared to make proposals that would lead Kenyans to a referendum with all proposal made likely to come through Bills or policy changes.
