PresidentUhuru Kenyatta while speaking at the burial of his close friend, the late Mzee Kamau Kabugi in Muranga county hinted on Boniface Murage who was arrested while smuggling his one-month old baby from Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) in a plastic bag.
He acknowledged that his saga of being arrested, arraigned in court, and sentenced, all within 24 hours over what he termed as very little amount of money exposed the rot in the judiciary. His comment was in relation to graft cases that have stayed in the court wardrobes for years yet hampering and stalling developmental projects.
He used the story to rubbish the Judiciary’s claim that they were committed to a speedy conclusion of corruption cases. The Head of State warned Chief Justice David Maraga that Kenyans were tired of the losing money to state officials during the 7th State of the judiciary function held at supreme court on Thursday.
