Chief Justice David Maraga became a butt of all jokes on Friday after it was revealed that a man had been jailed for 20 years for stealing sh.400 and a pair of Safariboots.
Justus Omondi, who has been in remand since 2016 was found guilty of robbery with violence and will have to spent another 20 years behind bars.
But Kenyans are wondering why it easy to sentence small criminals but the Judiciary lets the big corruption thieves get away with stealing public money.

Under the #JudiciaryLettingUsDown, Kenyans descended to Maraga with brutal memes and trolls.
Some people are wondering if the jails were constructed to jail the poor?
There is currently a conversation going around that the Judiciary has been the hindrance in the fight against corruption. I don’t think this is going to go away any time soon.
Is there a supremacy battle between the Office of the DPP and the Judiciary? Seems like the Judiciary is hell bend on discrediting the DPP.
If the Judiciary is serious on executing its mandate, why is lawyer Tom Ojienda still in the streets? The man has committed more crimes that this man who stole sh.400
Or it could be that Maraga and his learned friends are just drank with power. Absolute power corrupts.
It seems there is no independence in the Judiciary. You can’t be independent if you are sleeping with Kenya’s big problems.
These guys have made it so easy for the plunderers looting this country.
And now Kenyans believe enough is enough. No more looting.
