Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has criticized the High Court of Kenya for ruling that the president’s move to appoint Chief Administrative Secretaries (CASs) was unconstitutional.
Cherargei accused the judiciary of having a backlog of cases but giving priority to cases that are against the government. He also accused the judges of playing “populism and activism politics” against the government.
The senator said that the CASs will continue to be in office irrespective of the court ruling. He also said that the government will appeal the ruling.
Cherargei’s comments have been met with mixed reactions. Some people have supported his criticism of the judiciary, while others have said that he is trying to intimidate the judges.
It remains to be seen how the government’s appeal will be resolved. However, Cherargei’s comments have highlighted the ongoing tension between the government and the judiciary in Kenya.
