Chief Justice David Maraga has vowed to act on Judges and Magistrates suspected to be on the payroll of drug barons and called on Kenyans with evidence to bring it to authorities.

Maraga said if drug dealers had infiltrated the judiciary to buy justice the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) will deal with it as a form of corruption.
