Judges and Magistrates have called out President William Ruto over his recent remarks on the Judiciary, terming them a threat to judicial independence and the rule of law.

In a press statement on Wednesday, January, The Kenya Magistrates and Judges Association (KMJA) noted that Ruto's remarks are unfortunate and are aimed at ridiculing and painting the Judiciary negatively, hence interfering with judicial independence.
