Deputy president William Ruto is asking why the Supreme Court nullified President Uhuru’s election without enough evidence.
Ruto was speaking at State House, Nairobi, addressing North Eastern leaders. ”
“the tyranny of the judiciary will not be tolerated in Kenya”.
“Yaliyosemwa jana ni mambo ya ajabu. Majaji walipindua kura ya rais bila evidence. Kama numbers hazina shida, huu uchaguzi ulipinduliwa kwa sababu gani (What was said yesterday was surprising. Judges overturned the vote without evidence. If there was no problem with the numbers, why did they nullify the election)?
Ruto went ahead to call out the judges, saying they lacked ground to nullify the election.
“If there was a technical issue…why was election overturned? Why was the will of the people overturned? Why are we carrying out another election running in billions yet the other one was valid?” charged Ruto.
“The tyranny of the judiciary is not acceptable…inasemakana ukiwa kiongozi lazima ujue mtu fulani mwenye anajua judge fulani…ala (it seems when you are a leader you need to know someone who knows a judge).”
The deputy president had earlier said that the supreme court executed a supreme coup by overturning the will of the people.
“Evidently a supreme coup on sovereign Will of the people was executed on basis of technicalities against their verdict captured in ballots,” he said via Twitter.
