The Kenya Magistrates and Judges Association (KMJA) has expressed concern over the recent attacks on members of the Judiciary by the political class.
In a briefing at the Milimani law court, Secretary General Derrick Kuto on Friday accused politicians of targeting Chief Justice David Maraga and other judges in connection with the discharge of their duties.
“Every judge, magistrate or Kadhi subscribes to an oath of office to uphold the rule of law and protect the Constitution,” Kuto said.
He said it was normal for parties that come to court to be dissatisfied with decisions rendered by judicial officers asking that the affected should follow the recourse provided in law in such circumstances.
“It is, therefore, in bad faith for a litigant to target individual judges and magistrates in discharge of their duty,” Kuto said.
