“I took a similar oath to defend the Constitution and I cannot turn a blind eye to things happening in other State organs."

Those were the words of President Uhuru Kenyatta to the judges who were sworn-in yesterday, and to the nation a day after he appointed the judicial officers who had been given the nod by Judicial Service Commission in 2019.
