Homa Bay member of parliament Hon George Peter Kaluma has urge the Kenya Judiciary to stand with the Citizens during this Maandamano days against president William Ruto’s government.
“Let our courts secure the human rights and fundamental freedoms of Kenyans.Let our courts not playing along in this attempt by the state to dehumanize citizens.
Other Magistrates have allowed the courts to be turned into playground by the police where they sneak in and sneak out tortured Kenyans at will.The remands are full with Kenyans, including children and persons with disability brutalized and arrested by police for no good reason.
Other judicial officers are giving bail terms which are way beyond the reach of those charged innocent Kenyans thereby rendering their constitutional right to be presumed innocent and the consequential right to pre-trial liberty vain.
Courts are giving different bail terms on similar charge of “demonstrating” and in similar set of circumstances.
The subordinate courts appear to lack standard bail policy and behave like they’re part of the Executive system of abuse of citizens against the Bill of Rights
We may lose everything; but we should never lose the hard fought independence of Kenya judiciary to the Executive.
The right to protest is the most greatest right sustaining other rights and fundamental freedoms; don’t preside over its collapse by the state.
Once the courts help the state to crush and collapse the right to demonstrate, the Executive will come for the judiciary and judicial independence and there will be no one to fight for our judiciary.
Let the courts free our prisons of innocent Kenyans being held their by the state.
Like other rights and fundamental freedoms, the right to demonstrate inherently belongs to every individual and is never given by the state.
The case of Maina Njenga who has not been taken to court several days after arrest bothers the conscience of all Kenyans who believe in the rule of law.Is he killed? If so, where’s his body?
Who has allowed the police to abduct Babu Owino out of court after being granted bail!
The same is the case of several Members of Parliament including Hon. Ken Chonga, Hon. Teddy Mwambire and other Kenyans who have been ordered to be detained until Monday ‘to allow the court decide bail’ – despite being state officers.
Let our courts secure the human rights and fundamental freedoms of Kenyans.Let our courts not playing along in this attempt by the state to intimidate citizens”. Said Hon. Peter Kaluma.
