Supreme Court Justice Isaac Lenaola speaks on the lack of planning for the 2027 elections, questioning circumstances surrounding the Constitution of IEBC.
Judge Isaac Lenaola addressed the failure of Judiciary online filling system during the Gachagua’s saga. He raised eyebrows on why it happened , asking what might happen come 2027.
“Those of you who followed the Riggy G saga will remember that at some point the Judiciary online filling system went down. I want you to carry this question in 2027. Why did that online platform collapse. Why did the firewalls that we created before 2022 suddenly become vulnerable? Imagine what may happen in 2027. I will say no more. But think about it.”
He also inquired why IEBC is not being constituted, citing lack of appointment of a representative by Azimio.
This has seen Kenyans reacting. One noted “Kenyans should know we can represent ourselves directly. Let them give Kenyans a chance to appoint Honorable Ex Chief Justice Maraga for ourselves. The responsible leaders seem tired of representing us indirectly. How can 1 or 2 persons deny millions of us our fundamental constitutional right? “
Another one lamented “I thought they appointed one KoKi Muli to the panel but something is wrong somewhere within government circles and it’s high time we correct this before it gets out of hand and we are caught on the wrong foot Kenya is a last minute country in many things. “
However, others criticized” Lenaola should be the last person to speak like this. He is just a hypocrite who should keep his opinion to himself. Is it not the same judiciary which is allowing games in court over the same instead of firmly dispensing with the matter which has huge national concern? If we kenyans don’t take control of our country we are doomed. If the judges from the judiciary can cry fowl how about ordinary citizens. Poor governance .So sad. “
