Lawyer Ahmednasir has broken his silence immediately after the transfer of the Nairobi High Court Judge Mugure Thande from Milimani Law Courts to Malindi. The lawyer is clear that, the latest transfer is extremely unfortunate and it speaks to the state interference with the Judicial independence. Ahmednasir is clear that, the judge has been transfered for ruling against the finance Bill 2023.
In the latest changes that have been made by the Chief Justice Martha Koome, Mugure Thande will be operating from Malindi. She will be replaced by Justice Chacha Mwita who has been in Nairobi but in different capacity.
Ahmednasir is clear that, the Chief Justice Martha Koome must protect the Judicial independence for that’s extremely important. He is clear that, the issue of judges taking orders based on possible punishment is totally unacceptable.
Mugure Thande ruled against the finance Bill 2023 and this made her a big enemy of the state. The issue of Finance Act is still in court and the latest changes might therefore be seen as a continued threats to Judges independence.
