He, however, defended Chief Justice David Maraga and other judges from attacks by the Executive.
“The first thing I would say, let not the Executive interfere with the Judiciary, however, poorly they are doing.
The moment Judiciary becomes more Executive than the executive we are in trouble. I am, however, a bit let down by the Judiciary,” he said.

The minority leader further talked about the simmering unease in the Senate over Speaker Ken Lusaka’s involvement in politics.
He said senators had raised the matter with both Lusaka and National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi.
