Why i think the independence of autonomous institutions is at stake

On Tuesday 19 September,  the Chief Justice and the president of the Supreme court of Kenya Justice David Maraga came out gun blazing to "defend the independence of the Judiciary" following demonstrations by a section of Jubilee supporters against Justice Mwilu and Justice Isaac Lenaola who they believe orchestrated and executed a well choreographed Judicial coup together with opposition politicians meant to subvert the will of the Kenyan people. 

Before I delve into that matter, I wish to make it clear that the constitution of Kenya guarantees the independence of the Judiciary and provides that the Judiciary shall be subject only to the constitution and the law, and shall not be subject to the control of any person or authority. The constitution contemplates complete independence, not only from the Executive and the Legislature, but also from opposition politicians, NGOs, International advocacy and influence peddling groups, or business and social partners of judicial officers.
