Chief Justice David Maraga bitterly fought off criticism that the institution he leads was the weakest link in the fight against graft, even as President Uhuru Kenyatta added fuel to the fire against the Judiciary.

Putting up a brave face and and styling Judiciary as helpless in the face of weak evidence, Maraga thought he had acquitted himself, only for the president to come and roll it over on him.
