Despite a clear warning from the Chief Justice David Maraga stopping attacks on individual Judges of the Supreme Court, two voters now want Justices Jackton Ojwang and Njoki Ndungu shown the door.
The two have petitioned the Judicial Service Commission, JSC to remove the two judges alleging gross misconduct.
Francis M.Sakwa and Zacheus Okoth Oliech claim that Justice Njoki violated parts of the Judicial Code of Conduct and Ethics while Justice Ojwang is alleged to have eroded public trust.
The two also accuse the two judges of close association with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
“Judge Njoki Ndungu has at all material times whilst serving as a judge of the supreme court openly maintained unprofessional and partial interactions/associations with politicians and political appointees in a manner that does not instill and or enhances independence of the judge,” they say.
They further claim that during the presidential election petition the judge consistently had telephone communications with President Uhuru Kenyatta and his jubilee associates.
Justice Jackton Ojwang on the other hand is said to have committed unlawful actions that undermine public trust.
“The judge and his wife Collette Suda B. Ojwang have received favors from the president which saw the president and his government appoint Colletta as PS immediately after the 2013 Supreme Court Presidential Election petition,” they claim.
