Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has slammed the High Court and the judiciary body for the landmark ruling delivered today, which stated that the 50 CAS positions created by William Ruto are unconstitutional, and were not conducted in accordance with the law.
Cherargei lashed out at the Judiciary, accusing it of being corrupt and unable to provide proper justice despite receiving increased cash. He further noted that the arm of the government is unable to handle to handle backlog of cases. “The Judiciary has gone rogue by ruling that creation of CASs positions is unconstitutional without considering merits of the case. In the FY 2023/24 Judiciary received additionally 4B above their normal budget but they is a continuation of cases backlog, corruption and ineptitude in dispensation of Justice by Judiciary. Said Cherargei.
The legislator also stated that they will appeal the ruling so that the general public may benefit from the officeholders’ services.The 50 CASs’ composition had previously been declared unlawful by the courts because it excluded public input.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the entire complement of 50 CASs is therefore unconstitutional,” said Justice Kimondo said.
