Kenya’s judges just said “no” to President Ruto twice. First, they stopped him from collecting a new housing tax, then they blocked his plan to send police officers to Haiti.
People think this shows the judges won’t bend to pressure from the president. Even though Ruto has been criticizing the judges a lot, they’re still standing strong.
Some thought the judges might start favoring the government because of all the criticism, but that hasn’t happened.
Even after a meeting between the chief justice and the president, where some people thought the judiciary might give in, the judges are still being criticized.
The president says he’ll keep pushing his projects forward, despite what the courts say. It’s a tense situation, and people are worried about what might happen next.
The news was reported by BBC.
