Ruto who spoke in Nyandarua
County during the burial of Nyandarua Senator John Methu's father threatened Judges and Magistrates over what he termed as
sabotaging his plans for Kenyans.
“Our Judiciary, we respect you but
judicial impunity by corrupt judicial officers must stop in Kenya...we’ll stop
it and whatever it takes,” Ruto said.
However, in reacting to the speech,
Miguna Miguna expressed his displeasure at the President ‘s continued attacks
on the Judiciary.
Miguna reminded Ruto that he “wouldn’t be President” without the very
Judiciary he is now threatening since it upheld his election when it was
contested.
He urged the
President to follow the law in dealing with corruption at various cadres of
government and see to it that those individually found culpable face the music.
“Let me give
President William Ruto a free but important advice: Stop threatening the judiciary.
Stop threatening Kenyan litigants. Yes, there is corruption in every sector of
the Kenyan society, including at State House where you reside and work,” he
stated.
“These need to
be dealt with in accordance with the law. Not through threats or extrajudicial
means. Don’t listen to sycophants urging you to wield the sword. Those are
autocratic enemies of the people. Restrain yourself. Don’t become a tyrant!”
