President William Ruto has raised concern over the abuse of the Judiciary by individuals to sabotage Government programmes.

Speaking on Tuesday January 2 during the funeral service of Michael Maigo Waweru the father to Senator John Methu in Njabini, Ruto said some elements have taken captive some judicial officers to frustrate Government efforts in taming the theft of public resources.

The Head of State pointed out that it was unreasonable for a few people to have their way at the expense of the public.

Ruto went on to say the Judiciary must submit itself to the Constitution and Kenyans.

“Our Judiciary, we respect you but judicial impunity by corrupt judicial officers must stop in Kenya. We will stop it, whatever it takes. The judiciary must submit itself to the constitution and to the people of Kenya,” said Ruto

He added, “We will protect the independence of the Judiciary. But we will not allow selfish individuals to take it captive.”

Meanwhile Ruto described the late Mzee Waweru as a gentleman who was dedicated to serving the community. 

“He was a respected and enterprising leader with fresh ideas that changed many lives,” he stated. 

At the same time, President Ruto said the Government is keen on managing public debt by reducing borrowing.

He mentioned that he is committed to using revenue collected as taxes to prudently develop the country.

“I will not allow our country to go into debt distress and give us a reputation of being a country that cannot manage its fairs,” he said.

Ruto also lauded Kenyans for giving the government time to plan and execute its agenda.

He exuded confidence that Kenyans will soon enjoy the benefit from the bold measures. taken by the government since taking over.

Gachagua on his part called on the Judiciary to adopt a consultative approach when handling cases seeking to stop government programmes.

“We call on the judiciary to conduct an open court and seek the opinion on government programmes like housing,” he said.

Gachagua called on the youth not to allow outlawed criminal organizations to use them to cause chaos in the country.

National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah claimed the Opposition is sabotaging government programmes to serve their interests at the expense of ordinary Kenyans.

“Some people benefiting illegally from NHIF have used courts to frustrate UHC,” he said.

The Kikuyu MP said the opposition is not sincere in their call for demonstration noting that the price of unga, their main agenda, has since dropped.

“Our economy is stable, the next thing is take off,” he added.
