Justice James Wakiaga, a man who should be impartial in court and only make a decision based on the arguments of the prosecution and defense today decided to side with the prosecution and called Joseph Jowie Irungu a male version of a slay queen. ‘I would describe him as a woman eater’
“The first accused is a male version of a slay queen. I would describe him as a woman eater…” Judge Wakiaga description of Jowie

Now those are very big words coming from a man who should deliver justice to both the accused and the deceased. Jowie may be guilty. He may have had something to do with the heinous murder of Monica Kimani which happened ion the night of 19th September in her apartment in Lamuria Gardens.
But he is innocent until proven guilty and it is up to the prosecution that he is guilty beyond reasonable doubt before being sentenced for murder. Until then, no one especially not the referee should try to take sides in the case by calling him such words.
In fact the good judge should be sued for defamation. The term male version of a slay queen is derogatory, especially in our patriarchal society.
This is perhaps the reason why most people on social media are asking that Justice Wakiaga should recuse himself from the case since from the look of things he has already judged and sentenced Jowie before even the case commences.
The judge seems to already have a predetermined outcome of the case without even waiting for the full hearing of the case going by hus words today! If i was Jowie i wud spill the beans kama mbaya mbaya,the rest of his life depends on it

If I were Jowie’s defence counsel I would use that very statement to have the judge recuse himself…..very prejudiced man I question his ability to deliver fair judgement

But on a serious note though, Jowie needs to ask his lawyers to request for another judge going forward for him to have a fair trial. From his language that Wakiaga nigga don’t like him that much.

As a human being, Wakiaga can gave his opinion on Jowie. But a judge, we don’t need it.
Do you believe Justice Wakiaga will deliver Justice to Jowie?
