The Judiciary is under fire after Kenyans have faulted it for being the core of corruption. In as much as people have been attacking leaders on their corrupt ways, Kenyans believe that real war should be within the arm of law and justice, to expose the rot . If the law was as effective as it should be, this would be a big threat to the ‘big fish’.
In a case where justice seems to be for those who can afford it, and wrath of law seems to be effective only a few, then this cripples the real war on corruption.
For some reasons Kenyans feel that in some instances, the judiciary is forced to take orders from the big fish and this, they say, has to come to an end. Unless the judiciary is fixed, the war on corruption might as well be fruitless.

In Kenya, the judicial process is slow and some of the rulings made in court are said to be unfavorable. Some of these cases have been in court for so long and rogue judges have been accused of releasing criminals on bail under mysterious circumstances. Just in a recent case of the Akasha brothers, some Judges were on the spot over the accusation that they were bribed..but this is only one of the cases we know of. Have you thought of those that remained covered p?
Theres is no corruption in the judiciary , the judiciary is corruption.#RottenJudiciary

It is not even a war on corruption, the most we have seen is institutions playing the blame game. A game of pointing fingers between the EACC and the Judiciary.. a war between the haves and have nots.
Corruption is a reality in the Judiciary
Chief Justice David Maraga allegedly admitted that corruption is rife in the judiciary but has promised to tackle it head on.
He is on record saying that the Judiciary has given its commitment to end judiciary both externally and from within.
“Judiciary is committed to end corruption and is counting on the cooperation from all the other government organs.”
“As we address the external cases of corruption, we must look inward and see if there are logs in our eyes,” he said
But have we seen this yet? What are your thoughts?
