Kenya Chief Justice's Meeting With President Ruffles Feathers

Opposition leader Raila Odinga has described the move by Chief Justice Martha Koome to meet with President William Ruto at State House over corruption in the judiciary as irresponsible.

Odinga stated that this would compromise the judiciary and indicated that the talks should have been held instead in a neutral location.

Koome held a meeting with President Ruto at State House to address a stand-off arising from corruption claims on judges.

The claims were made by Ruto who accused unnamed judges of working with cartels to frustrate the government agenda following injunctions on his legacy projects of health and housing.
