The Judiciary has moved swiftly to dispel what it terms as “misleading and unfounded allegations” made by President Uhuru Kenyatta’s cousin, Kung’u Muigai, in connection to the ongoing case surrounding the late city lawyer Kyalo Mbobu.
In a strongly worded statement released this morning, the Judiciary insisted that due process has been followed to the letter in all matters relating to the slain advocate. The clarification comes just hours after Muigai alleged that certain judicial officers were compromised and that justice was deliberately being delayed to frustrate the victim’s family.
According to Muigai, “powerful forces” within the system were influencing proceedings, raising public concern and sparking heated debate across legal and political circles. His claims instantly ignited speculation of a wider conspiracy, drawing attention to the deep cracks between institutions tasked with delivering justice.
The Judiciary, however, termed his remarks as reckless, cautioning leaders against “careless pronouncements that risk undermining public confidence in the rule of law.” The statement further noted that the court has prioritized the matter and emphasized that hearings will proceed without interference or favoritism.
Kyalo Mbobu, a respected advocate, was tragically killed under mysterious circumstances, a case that has since drawn national attention. The unresolved murder has become a symbol of Kenya’s struggle to deliver justice swiftly and transparently.
As the war of words intensifies, all eyes now turn to the upcoming court session where key witnesses are expected to testify. Will Muigai’s explosive claims trigger fresh investigations, or will the Judiciary’s stern response silence the storm?
One thing is clear: the case of the late Kyalo Mbobu is far from over — and the battle for truth has only just begun.
