CJ Koome, Supreme Court judges under siege
Chief Justice Martha Koome.
Supreme Court • The melodrama, with Chief Justice Martha Koome and other Supreme Court judges under siege, can easily serve as a case study on the justice system, says W. Kimariech. “The judges and the Judicial Service Commission are sizing up each other. The top judges have rushed to a junior court to stop the JSC from proceeding with petitions against them.” His contact is [email protected].

Tribalism • Both President William Ruto and his former deputy Rigathi Gachagua have no moral authority to condemn tribalism, says Steve Junior A. “They both perpetuated it in their discriminatory appointments to government jobs before they fell out. Two wrongs don't make a right, but Gachagua's critics should not spare his former boss.” His contact is [email protected].

Noisy • Spine Road at Kayole in Nairobi’s Eastlands must be noisiest road in the whole country, says Patrick Wachira. “Matatu crews and motorbike riders have made living in the neighbourhood a nightmare. The matatus and bikes have been fitted loud horns. We need a quiet environment to raise our children and do our businesses. Who will help us?” His contact is [email protected].

Bail • Whenever a suspect is slapped with a cash bail by the courts, he or she rushes to raise the money and get out of custody. But James Mwangi is appalled at the long delay in making refunds. “Can Nairobi’s Milimani Courts registrar tell us how long it takes to refund the money? Our case (e-905/2022) ended on January 6, and to date, nothing.” His contact is [email protected].

Crude • Nairobi County officials who authorised the dumping of garbage at Kenya Power’s Stima House headquarters must be held accountable, says Ruth Gituma. “This was an immature and unacceptable act, as there are better ways of resolving disagreements. How can the city leadership expect residents not to litter after setting a crude example?” Her email address is [email protected].
Have a punishable day, won’t you!
