Chief Justice David Maraga yesterday instructed the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Division to create an electronic tracking system to monitor the status of corruption cases. On October 18, President Uhuru Kenyatta blamed the judiciary, the EACC, the Auditor General and other agencies for the sluggish anti-corruption fight. The new CJ said he will ensure the judiciary is not blamed for failures of other arms of government. Speaking during a council meeting for the Administration of Justice, Maraga urged judges to prioritise the war on corruption and pledged to put it atop his agenda. A raft of measures by the CJ comes at a time when the President has accused the judiciary of being the weakest link in the fight against corruption.
