Just like Rashid Echesa CJ David Maraga is staring at an ouster.
A fresh petition has been filed seeking the removal of chief justice David Maraga from office over claims of gross violation of the Constitution.
The petition which was filed by one Yussuf Ibrahim Dimbil, and which has been received by the Judicial Service Commission, accuses Maraga of attending political rallies, employing people from one ethnic group to the judiciary and making utterances that are unconstitutional.
The issue of CJ Maraga attending political parties started gaining shape when he attended one of the President visits in Kisii County. Attendance alone is not the reason ,but Maraga was offered an opportunity to address the residents.
Other Supreme court judges have fourteen days to respond to charges of misconduct.
The petition against Justices Mohammed Ibrahim, Jackton Ojwang, Smokin Wanjala and Njoki Ndung’u was filed at the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) by Mr Jared Ongeri.
Recently, the four, in a majority decision, allowed a second appeal by Wajir Governor Mohamed Abdi, faulting a high court and the appellate court for entertaining a case on whether he has a university degree.
The Supreme Court judges said the matter was a pre-election dispute and the complainants only raised it after the August 8, 2017 General Election results were announced.
