The judiciary has gone rogue- Ruto allies vow to appeal the rejection of 50 CASs.
Taking it to his official social media account, Nandi senator has opined that the judiciary was wrong to revoke the appointment of the 50 CASs.
The senator added that they must appeal this decision since it negates public interest and principles of Natural justice.
Cherargei stated,”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. We shall appeal this decision that negates public interest and principles of Natural justice,” he added.
Sharing the same sentiments was Hukun Dabar, who stated that rejection of the CASs won’t affect the cosy of living or improve the economic status of Kenya.
He stated,”As our friends from Azimio are celebrating the ruling by the High Court that the entire appointment of 50 CASs was unconstitutional (Null andvoid), they are also not telling you that failing to appoint the CASs will not lower Kenya’s cost of living. Even if the court would have ruled in their favour of their appointment, it would have no impact on the country’s high cost of living.”
“The whole issue of associating the CAS issue with the cost of living is a political issue. Now that there have been no CASs in the office, has the cost of living gone down? Azimio should stop this game of dragging the government to court over every project and policy it implements. The ongoing lawsuits are stalling progress,” he added.
The high court this afternoon, ruled that the current office of CAS, created by President William Ruto, is unconstitutional. Whereas there was some reasonable public participation on the first compliment of 23 CASs there was no such participation regarding the additional compliment of 27 CASs.
The justices declared the entire compliment of 50 CASs is unconstitutional and for the avoidance of doubt, the notification by President William Ruto appointing the 50 CASs, is hereby quashed.
