Speaker Muturi urged the Judiciary to accept the criticism directed to it and not defend itself.
“Kenyans are at liberty to criticize any institution. I was surprised to hear the Law Society of Kenya condemning what the President said. Recently, the Nasa Brigade told the Judiciary not to interfere with the decision of the Court of Appeal and they wanted to demonstrate,”said Muturi.

“You should be ready to face the consequences of your decisions .Kenyans are ready for elections and everybody should be ready for elections and there should be no roadblocks,” he said.
