On June 4, 2020, Chief Justice David Maraga publicly protested an Executive Order published by the office of the President, which outlined the organization of the government of Kenya.
The order, which sparked controversy, aimed to reorganize the country's government structure. However, the Judiciary, led by Chief Justice Maraga, has maintained its independence and autonomy.
According to reports, the order was published without consulting the Judiciary, a move that has been met with resistance from the Chief Justice and his team.
Chief Justice Maraga has emphasized that the Judiciary cannot be organized by an Executive Order, highlighting the need for collaboration and mutual respect between the three arms of government.
