Press Statement From the Kenya Magistrates and Judges Association Condemnation of The Threats Against Hon Gladys Kiamah
The Kenya Magistrate and Judges Association (KMJA) is an Association comprised of Hon. Judges, Hon. Magistrates and Hon. Kadhis.
Our mandate is to promote the welfare of our members, protect and uphold the rule of law and the Constitution. We also defend the independence of the Judiciary.
The security situation obtaining in our Kakamega station brings to the fore the
unfortunate and sorry state the Judicial officers find themselves in. They are vulnerable and exposed.
The action by Mr. Salasya, MP, Mumias East, to openly threaten our colleague for doing her judicial work stinks to hell. That he even went ahead to post cryptic stuff about the incident is even worse. His proxies have equally threatened to harm our sister.
We wish to condemn the careless, precambrian and pedestrian action by Salasya in the strongest terms possible. He is a disgrace to this Nation. He has lowered the value of
the office that he occupies.
It’s in the public domain that a report has since been made and the DCI is investigating the same. Given the public interest involved, we call upon the relevant agencies to speed
up the investigations.
The said gentleman should be arrested forthwith to face the full force of the law. Such entities are not good for the society.
The Kenya Magistrates and Judges Association has since appointed an advocate of repute to represent it. He has instructions for the culprit to be put behind bars and be prosecuted with diligence.
This is not an isolated incident. Many of our members have been harmed and killed in line of duty while others have had to resign. Therefore, an attack on anyone of us is an attack on all of us.
We call upon every Kenyan to frown upon such incidences.
We hope that the Government of Kenya, through its agencies, including the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, will understand our daily cries for provision of security to our members.
Our Association stands with hon Gladys Kiamah, all Judges , Magistrates , Kadhis and Registrars who tirelessly serve our Nation with dignity and integrity.
GOD BLESS KMJA
GOD BLESS KENYA
Signed on behalf of the National Council of KMJA
HON. DERRICK KUTO
PRESIDENT, KMJA
