Stop intimidating
Supreme Court Judges, Nyamira leaders tells Uhuruto.
TOP Nyamira County Leaders have told President Uhuru
Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto to stop forthwith what they have termed as
intimidating the Supreme Court Judges led by Chief Justice David Maraga.
The Nyamira County Leaders led by Nyamira County Governor
John Nyagarama, Senator Okongo Omogeni, Borabu MP Ben Momanyi and his West
Mugirango Counterpart Vincent Kemosi said both the President and his deputy
should stop intimidating the Judges of Supreme Court for doing their work.
Speaking in Kisumu on Monday, the Leaders from Nyamira
County said it is President Uhuru Kenyatta who advised the National Super Alliance{NASA}
to seek recourse in court of law in event they are dissatisfied with the
elections outcome.
“We wish to remind him that the Supreme Court is an independent
and a distinct third arm of the Government and Uhuru must respect the
constitution principles of separation of powers.We therefore castigate the
attacks being leveled against Chief Justice David Maraga and the other Judges
of Supreme Court, merely for discharging their duties,” they say.
They say that both President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy
William Ruto are products of the Supreme Court decision of the year 2013 that
affirmed their election and they should be the last people to castigate the
same Supreme Court, adding that they may also seek remedy in the same court in
future.
They claim that what the Jubilee led by President Kenyatta
and his Deputy is resorting to is tantamount to an incitement against Kenyans
to disregard court orders which can only lead to anarchy.
“We protest at the abuses directed at the Chief Justice
David Maraga by calling him mkora which is tantamount to an attack on the
entire Christian fraternity and more so the Seventh Day Adventist Church.The
Deputy President should search his conscious that he himself is a Christian,”
they add.
They further add that it is regrettable that the Jubilee has
chosen the dangerous path of totally disrespecting and thrashing chapter six of
the Constitution, rule of law, and honor to justice with impunity of the
highest order.
“We urge the international community to impose travel
sanctions on leaders who are out to disregard and show contempt for the rule of
law which ultimately may expose our beloved country into anarchy,” they
conclude.
