President Ruto criticises courts, calls some rulings 'judicial overreach'

President William Ruto has sharply criticised the Judiciary for a series of court decisions that, he says, have stalled or overturned key government initiatives.

Speaking on Wednesday at State House, Nairobi, during the swearing-in of 15 newly appointed Court of Appeal judges, Ruto expressed concern that several judgments have frustrated government policies, affecting ordinary citizens.
