On Friday morning, a number of banners were found hoisted across some city streets.

All the banners had messages that were highly insulting and defamatory to the honourable Chief Justice and other senior judicial officers.

The banners intimated that this was just the beginning of a long ugly fight targeting Maraga and the judicial.

Moreover, the banners displayed the pictures of the Chief justice and the senior judicial officers.

“It is clear that the banners are a continuation of well-choreographed attacks on the judiciary throughout this week, particularly on social media,” reads a statement from Judiciary.

According to the statement dated June 12th, Judiciary said “These attacks are clearly meant to threaten and intimidate the judiciary. (They) do not and will not detract the Judiciary from discharging its core mandate of dispensing justice in a fair, just and independent manner without compromise.”

The judiciary asked the Inspector General of Police and the DCI to investigate and find the perpetrators.

It also requested the concerned bodies to punish those involved in the targeted attacks.

The Judiciary asked the Nairobi County Government and the Kenya National High Authority to remain vigilant.

It also urged the bodies to ensure public spaces are not used to perpetuate criminal attacks against the judiciary and judicial officers.

These forms of attacks are not new to the judiciary. They have in the past requested the Police to investigate and bring to book those responsible.
