As Kenya marked 57 years of being a republic, President Uhuru Kenyatta cast his attention once again on the Judiciary.
Speaking at Nyayo Stadium on Saturday, Uhuru said there is a need to ensure the will of justice spins fairly for all.
To reduce the distance between the disadvantaged and the law, the Judiciary must be subjected to the will of the people.
“It must have an oversight body that is a direct expression of the spirit of the nation.”
He questioned whom the Judiciary is accountable to and where are the Judicial checks and balances located outside of the Judicial Service Commission led and dominated by the officers of the court.
