Chief Justice of Kenya, David Maraga, has come under intense public pressure to rein in judicial officers seen as stumbling blocks in the fight against corruption.
He made the statement after speaker lamented that the courts are slapping suspects on the wrist with minimal bails, issuing anticipatory arrests orders and giving injunctions arbitrarily.
But Maraga told critics off, saying the courts will act independently and abide by the rule of law.
The CJ defended the Judiciary saying the accusations are ill intended as their hands were tied by the Constitution, a debilitating budget and incompetent prosecutions.
However, President Uhuru Kenyatta shove off the many excuses, asking the CJ to put his house in order if he is serious about the war on corruption or someone will do it for him.
