Why the Judiciary should be challenged

Early this week, President Uhuru Kenyatta came under heavy flak for daring to tread where not even Lucifer is permitted. His deputy's caustic deportment is rubbing off on him. In an unguarded moment, the President, taking cue from William Ruto, went hammer and tongs at a judiciary he now believes is after his scalp come August 8, 2017.

He attacked the Judiciary for supposedly working in favour of the Opposition, completely amnesiac of his earlier urgings that if the Opposition felt aggrieved over anything, well, the courts were there for them. Indeed, the Opposition gleefully took his advice and has made the courts its second home.
