Friday, June 25, 2021 -Deputy President William Ruto has pointed out a few aspects he thinks his administration will address once he takes power in 2022.
Appearing on an Interview with KTN News on Thursday June 24, Dr. Ruto who was being hosted by Sophia Wanuna poked holes into Uhuru Kenyatta’s style of leadership though steering clear of name calling.
Firstly, the DP outlined what he would have done better was he the one manning the country saying the war between the executive and the Judiciary was uncalled for. He insisted that the six judges ought to have been appointed long ago.
Among the judges he mentioned are Joel Ngugi, George Odunga, Weldon Korir, Aggrey Muchelule, Evans Kiago and Judith Omange.
“I would have appointed all of them. I think the people who are better versed in matters law and constitution – the former Chief Justices Willy Mutunga and David Maraga – have said clearly that the right thing that should have happened was for all judges to be appointed and subsequently,” he stated.
He advised Uhuru to therefore follow the rule of law if at all there was anything questionable on the six judges.
“If there are integrity issues on any judge, then the normal process that involves a tribunal, and those judges being subjected to due process, should have been followed,” Ruto took a swipe at Uhuru.
According to the second in command, the president was interfering with the rule of law and urged him to avoid taking that costly route.
He also cautioned the country against supporting the Building Bridges Initiative BBI Bill which he argued that it is meant to only elevate some individuals into power.
