Chief Justice David Maraga has hit out at the Executive for slashing the Judiciary’s budget, which has led to withdrawal of core services.

Addressing the press at the Supreme Court yesterday, a furious Maraga told Kenyans to brace for delays in handling of cases and lack of basic services unless the Treasury rescinds its decision to cut the Judiciary’s budget by Sh3 billion.
