President Ruto calls for a truce in ongoing police, Judiciary feud
CS Kithure Kindiki and CS Justin Muturi accompany President William Ruto during the launch of the Strategic Framework for the Implementation of reforms in the National Police Service (NPS), Kenya Prisons Service (KPS) and the National Youth Service (NYS) at the Kenya School of Government, Kabete on September 18, 2024.
He added that the ongoing fight between the Judiciary and the Executive was hindering the delivery of services.
“We must defend our democracy and the rule of law. We must defend our independent institutions but we must also ensure we work together for the people of Kenya. And that requires leadership that understands that the independence is for serving the people of Kenya not interests of individuals. We need to ask for greater understanding and cooperation to achieve what is good for the people of Kenya without disagreement,” he said.
President William Ruto Wednesday weighed in on the ongoing feud between the Judiciary and the police, calling on both entities to work together to promote democracy and respect for the rule of law in the country.
Speaking during the launch of reforms for the police, Prisons and National Youth Service in Lower Kabete in Nairobi, he said that although the constitution provides for independence of these institutions, they must pursue the interest of Kenyans and not focus on what is “good” for one institution.
