Mixed Reactions after High court advocate calls DP Gachagua a primitive village boy
Mixed Reactions after High court advocate calls DP Gachagua a primitive village boy: Speaking to the press yesterday, High Court Advocate Evans Ondieki hit out at Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for naming a judge while promising to seek for her removal.
Advocate Ondieki condemned Gachagua’s behavior saying he is primitive in nature and a rogue state officer who is harassing Judicial officer, left right and center.
Ondieki stated,” I want to condemn the primitive behaviour by the Deputy President, Mr Gachagua. Mr Gachagua has no respect for the rule of law, he has no respect for the doctrine of separation of powers and he’s abusing judicial officers by naming a person who has made a decision against him.”
Advocate Ondieki expressed his sentiments days after the deputy president swore to take action against Lady Justice Esther Maina from office.
Justice Esther had ruled against the Deputy President on his 200M case in 2022 as being proceeds of corruption from ghost delivery of services to the government.
Advocate Ondieki adviced the Deputy President to present any evidence if he has any to the Judicial Service Commission for action to be taken instead of insulting in public gatherings.
Advocate Ondieki stated,”It’s not just defamatory but it’s also scandalous because if he has any evidence, he should submit it to JSC. Not to abuse a Judicial officer. That’s the most hardworking Judicial Officer that we know. Her integriis beyond question.”
Netizens have reacted;
Chege wrote,”What’s with the insults?
DP Gachagua just said he’d be presenting evidence against the named judge.
Even before looking at the said evidence this judge has declared his COLLEAGUE clean.
How can JSC be trusted to fight corruption in the foregoing?”
Another netizens posed,” The guy speaking is a practicing advocate of the high court of Kenya and many won’t help but agree with him that Gachagua is uncouth and a terrible accident in Kenya’s top leadership. Why can’t he present evidence before JSC instead of shouting in political rallies?”
