Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi says Chief Justice Martha Koome does not need to have a meeting with President William Ruto over alleged corruption in the judiciary.
Speaking on Tuesday, Ahmednasir said all the Chief Justice should do is get rid of all corrupt and incompetent judges.
"How I wish/pray CJ Koome knows her stuff! She doesn't need chai and Mandasi with H.E. Ruto at State House. She just needs to clean the judiciary of corrupt and incompetent judges. Simple!" he said on X.
His remarks come after Koome in a comprehensive address called for talks between the Judicial Service Commission and the President over his recent claims on judicial officers working in cahoots to frustrate his projects.
Koome said the Judiciary has written to President Ruto seeking an audience with the view to establishing the genesis of his complaints against the Judiciary.
Whilst confirming that the President has not filed any complaint with the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), the CJ said the Judiciary is ready to interrogate the concerns the President has with the system some of whose officers he has publicly claimed are corrupt.
“He might have received information because we have various machinery and agencies for collecting information and we would like to engage him so that he can give us that information.
“So we will be looking out for that dialogue, we have written and I believe that the President is going to give us an appointment,” Koome said in a press conference on Monday.
She said judges are human and feel hurt when their names are dragged and publicly condemned as corrupt especially where no evidence has been presented.
Koome said they would honour the appointment should the President grant their request, noting that the government cannot function alone without the Judiciary and the Legislature.
