According to Havi, AG Kihara as the topmost lawyer should act as the unifying factor between the Executive and the Judiciary to seal the cracks. Havi said instead of lashing back at the CJ, Kariuki should have just walked to the Supreme Court and asked Maraga to accompany him to State House where they would have resolved the issues. The AG earlier this week accused Maraga of playing populist brinkmanship with his latest claims on the delayed appointment of judges. He said the CJ risks setting judges against the Executive with the public attacks “which have now taken a decidedly personal slant”. The Executive said the CJ is to blame for the inadequacies of the judicial system, adding he needs to respect that the government is one entity.
