Published on June 8, 2020, Chief Justice David Maraga has shifted the blame to President Uhuru Kenyatta for the delay in appointing new judges to the judiciary.
Maraga's statement comes as the judiciary faces a severe shortage of judges, with many cases pending due to the lack of sufficient judges to hear them.
