Saturday, February 10, 2024 - Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has blasted the Kenya Judiciary after 13 people died after consuming illicit liquor in Kirinyaga County this week.
Speaking in Kirinyaga County on Friday, Gachagua faulted the Martha Koome-led Judiciary for allowing the release of the prime suspect behind the killer brew.
“I want to appeal to Chief Justice Martha Koome.
"You are part of the Mt Kenya community, how come you allow people to continue selling poisonous alcohol to our children,” Gachagua stated.
“I want to ask Lady Chief Justice Martha Koome and the judges, now that you released the suspect behind the killer brew 15 times, and now that people have died, what will you tell the people,” Gachagua added.
According to Gachagua, the suspect had allegedly been arrested and arraigned in court 15 times, but each time he was arraigned, the courts released him.
The DP further urged the courts to be patriotic, especially when making rulings that they know will impact the public.
