Chief Justice David Maraga has dismissed a revised Executive Order issued by President Kenyatta on Wednesday.
Maraga through a statement on Thursday said the order has no effect on the Judiciary and Judicial Service Commission (JSC), which are recognized as independent institutions under the 2010 constitution.
He further noted that the order titled “The reorganization of government” can only apply to the Executive arm of government, which is headed by the President.
In the new order, Uhuru listed JSC among institutions under the State Law Office and the Department of Justice.
“While the Executive Order has no legal effect as the Constitution is clear about the creation of the Judiciary and the JSC and their authority and functions, it is important that the public understands, for the sake of our constitutional democracy, that both the Judiciary and the JSC are independent organs which are neither assigned functions nor derive authority from the Executive branch of government,” said Maraga.
“The Order cannot “restructure” or “assign” function to the other co-equal and co-substantial arms of government and Independent Commissions. An Executive Order cannot “restructure” or “assign” functions to Judiciary or the Chief Justice,” he added.
“It is imperative that this institutional independence be clear in all government publications and orders.”
The revised Executive Order No.1 of 2020 was issued to reorganize the national government and reassign functions and institutions among ministries and state departments.
“I want to believe that this was an inadvertent error and that the office of the President will promptly issue a correction,” noted Maraga.
Uhuru’s order further placed the newly-formed Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) under the Executive Office of the President.

And I ask you again. Are you going to live forever?! The problem with folks like you is that you have failed to take responsibility for your own actions and to help Uhuru in National building! Tou are quite blind to your laziness except a big mouth! You are like a dog that vomits and then it turns around to eat it’s vomit plus the dog’s poop! I hate to say but I surely feel sorry for you! You are nothing but a fatherless kid who had no body to teach discipline and the values of hard work! No wonder you are blaming Uhuru for your absent father – dead or alive!!
Help who???

Maraga is expecting a bribe with a Mercedes 800 STZ. Maybe two or more… He is a greedy man.
I will go with Mutua Makau’s…
I will go with Mutua Makau’s and Grand Mulla’s legal opinion on this matter in support of Uhuru! Maraga’s opinion should be treated with the contempt it deserves! He is not well versed with the law. Maraga cannot even finish a legal argument to what he is protesting! He must be campaigning for a parliamentary seat in Kisii.
Maraga – You are the …
Maraga – You are the “inadvertent error” to have been appointed the Chief Justice of the honorable Republic of Kenya! Your appointment should be reversed now to correct the grave error.
The judiciary is not Co…
The judiciary is not Co-equal to the executive branch! Maraga you just told us that nonsense when you were begging for money from the treasury? Now you want to feed us with some more nonsense to make DO Ruto happy? No reversal my foot!!!.
How many arms if government…
How many arms if government do we have?
27.5 is the total number of…
27.5 is the total number of the arms of government in Kenya. 1/2 more can be created to make you happy. You must be a dummy not to know that standard 1 civics lesson!
Maraga completely…
Maraga completely misunderstood Uhuru’s executive order! He feel aggrieved by the executive because he has benefited from the DP Ruto’s corruption and theft of resources. Can one if the well educated legal officers explain the executive order to Maraga before he step on his tongue?
Maraga and the judiciary…
Maraga and the judiciary should be put under the executive branch of government to clean that corrupt arm. Maraga and his team have been involved in too much corruption to a point an outsider is needed to clean the judiciary. The custodians of our laws have turned out to be the worst thieves of our coffers and have lost the trust of the people. LSK is also made of thieves too.
Stop creating side shows…
Stop creating side shows when a Uhuru is reorganizing the government to near it work effectively for us Me Chief Justice Maraga! Where were you when Tanga Tanga was all over the country politicking and stealing? We need to take back the control of our government and that is what Uhuru is doing! We don’t recognize the judiciary as the arm of the government anymore – they are all thieves and the aid and abet other thieves to destroy our beautiful country! We will fight for Kenya until our last drop of blood. The judiciary have failed us! Maraga is incapable of overseeing justice in Kenya.
This nonsense about who is…
This nonsense about who is Co-equal with who need to stop! You cannot have thieves being CO-equal with people of good faith who are trying to salvage the country. This idea that the judiciary was co-equal with the executive had made Kenya fail. It is what has brought us wher DP Ruto was doing things in a lawless manner because GE felt he did not have to answer to the president! Let Uhuru re-write how the government need to run. Maraga and LSK are just opportunists and thieves who are ruining Kenya.
The idea of these judicial…
The idea of these judicial officers telling us what is good for Kenya is a fallacy! They have stolen our country blind and have no good intentions for the ordinary Kenyans! The judiciary has turned out to be the cartel of thieves! They care less about the ordinary Kenyans! They have been destroying our country for the longest time. Maraga does not even know his job. He protects all the thieves in the judiciary including himself and his beputy! Kenyans are tired of thieves!!
Dictator in-chief; As of now…
Dictator in-chief; As of now, Uhuru is; President, chief justice, Nairobi Governor, Jubilee thief, Everything Kenyan is his and his Kenyatta family; and poor Kenyans are just watching hoping for a miracle. The episodes of 4th world country! This explains why I don’t miss 254 and thrashed her pport. This is train wreck president! Goodluck wakenya!
Wacha Kuria machozi tupu!…
Wacha Kuria machozi tupu! Your kinsman DP Ruto is the greatest enemy of Kenya! He is the greatest thief in the entire world!
You all kill at will because of money hunger and greed! No wonder Kenya has gone to the dogs; your thieving dogs! You are now bribing Maraga to protect Ruto and Echase!
Now that his wings have been clipped, nyonga yourself, and taking the earliest kite to see the Lucifer!
My observation is that…
My observation is that Kenyans cannot engage in a sober discussion without mentioning Ruto, BBI and the president. This is myopic and is the reason Kenya cannot be a democracy.
Now I fully understand all…
Now I fully understand all the reason Trump deported your behind from the US!
Maraga, what is “uta do…
Maraga, what is “uta do attitude from the President”? Cut down your arrogance and go talk to the president personally instead of rushing to the media to attack him! The president say “uta do” you go do. That simple!
The president said the 41 judges you presented to him to be sworn in are tainted. But now you want to force the president to swear in corrupt judges?
You say there are 16000 case waiting to be handled by 31 judges amid covid19. So you want the president to hire 41 more judges who can not even start working immediately? Where is wisdom on your part here Maraga? “Uta do”!
Does that make any sense to you? You can take up some of those cases yourself and also ask the 31 sitting judges to work overtime! “Uta do”!
Do you not have electricity in the courtrooms across the country? Maybe you need electricity installed in the courtrooms so that you can maximize the cases work load by dividing the cases evenly among the 31 judges. “Uta do”! but you are not using your laborforces wisely and economically! “Uta do” is what Kenyans are telling you to “Uta do” mr Chief kadhi Justice.
Kenyans want to cut down on excess salaries in your judiciary. Also the rate of corruption in the courts is making Kenyans lose confidence in your ability to lead the judiciary. “Uta do”! Eeeehee!
Are you tainted with corruption as you seem not be concerned about the corrupt lot in the judiciary. Kenyans are saying “Uta do” to you Maraga!
Stop your high handed-ness and talk to the president with some respect! “Uta do”?
You are not equals with the president although you seem to think you are because you nullified his election in 2017. Maybe that is the root cause of your simple problems! Go figure!!! “Uta do”! or you keep whining till dooms day. “Uta do” is what Kenyans are telling you! Wake up CJ.
