Chief Justice MARTHA KOOME hates RUTO with passion - You won’t believe why she stopped watching news

Friday August 23, 2024 - Chief Justice Martha Koome has dropped a bombshell, revealing why she stopped watching news.

Speaking yesterday, Koome said she stopped watching news due to President William Ruto’s Government’s bad policies.

According to her, the depressing news items remind her of the inequality in society.

The Chief Justice gave an example of university students from poor backgrounds being placed in band 5 while others from rich families are placed in band 1.

“I stopped watching news because of these very depressing items that keep flashing to our faces to remind us how unequal and how unjust we are in a society.

“That a child who has qualified to go to the university can be there crying saying look, I have been put in band 5 when I ought to be in band 1 and therefore, I cannot afford to go to the university. When you follow, you find the child of a well-off family has been put in band 1,” Koome stated.

CJ Koome called for the consolidation of bursary funds given to Governors, MPs, Women Reps, and MCAs.

She said the funds should be redirected to the Ministry of Education and education made free for all Kenyans.

“There is a bursary fund given from the taxpayers’ money given to the Governor, Women Rep, MPs through CDF, and MCAs. All those bursaries how are they disbursed? Why wouldn’t you put them in educational and make it free for all,” Koome added.

The Chief Justice’s remarks come after many Kenyans complained about the bands in which first-year students were placed.

In the new university funding model, students have been categorized into five bands based on family income.
