We’re coming for you, Kimani Ichung’wah tells corrupt judicial officers

As the uproar over President William Ruto’s threat to disobey court orders issued by “bribe-taking judges” continues to grow, his close ally and National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah has maintained that “corrupt judges must fall”. Mr Ichung’wah suggested a judicial radical surgery similar to the one under former President Mwai Kibaki's first term in office to get rid of corrupt judges and other senior officials within the Judiciary. Speaking in a wide-ranging interview with the Nation, Mr Ichung’wah said that heads will soon roll, in an escalation of the Kenya Kwanza administration’s fight against corruption. He explained that the fight against graft targets corrupt individuals in all three arms of government.
