  What law will Justice Kariuku be upholding. The man is charged with a criminal offence. Kariuku chose to break the same law he should be upholding and should not be allowed to resume his duties if people are to respect the judicial system.

  As for now he should be addressed as Mr Kariuki and not Justice Kariuki until proven otherwise because he has been alleged to have taken the law in his own hands. He should be suspended untill the court matter is settled.Kenyans will be wathching this case with a lot of interest.Justice needs to be seen to be done. A Kenyan has sustained grevious bodily harm .I can't wait to hear the case on 26th Nov.

  I don't understand why Justice Kariuki should continue serving the country while his duty is ensure that law offernders are punished. I think he should be stopped immediately. Why should the goverment leave suspected criminals to lead Kenyans? He should face the law like any other Kenyan.

  That part of the constitution should be ammended ASAP. They probably never imagined that a judge would do this. This judge should resign and not be allowed anywhere near a courthouse. Imagine yourself, charged with attempted murder, in front of a judge who has been charged with attempted murder. To preserve the dignity of of the Judicial system he should be placed on administrative leave.

  Why is Justice GBM Kariuki still walking on the streets of Kenya! What a shame. I do not foresee justice being carried out in this shameful act by a judge. Why is Chief Justice Gicheru slow in interdicting this man? Why? Shame on the justice system.
