There was no justification at all to frustrate the appointment of the judges of the Court of Appeal, some of the best judicial brains. Kudos to Muchelule , Korir, Ngugi, Makori & Omange. And Maraga was there to witness it all. An independent judiciary is paramount.

Entirely agree with SC Ahmednassir Abdullahi. Not even during KANU's hegemony did Judges line up in their regalia to receive Jomo and Moi outside judicial premises. It was not even a colonial practice and must called out for what it is. Judicial capture.

CJ Maraga’s advice to the President to dissolve parliament is momentous. Probably the most significant and historic from a constitutional standpoint. How we apply foundational principles and values of the rule of law and constitutionalism is now the big test.

The rule of law is broken and judicial anarchy sets in when judicial processes are used and abused to achieve unlawful outcomes or brazen political objectives. The orders obtained ex parte against CJ Mwilu(Ag) is an egregious act of judicial terror and oppression.

A state of emergency does not by itself ineluctably limit or suspend the Bill of Rights. There must be legislation. In any case national security must be pursued in compliance with the rule of law & human rights.Police must not enforce curfew with might but love & fight Covid-19.
