Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua announced on Thursday that he would not pursue a petition against Judge Esther Maina, who had ruled against him in a corruption case, and called for a dialogue on the issue of judicial accountability.

In a press statement, Gachagua, through Njeri Rugene, the Head, Deputy Presidential Communication Service said he had decided to drop the petition, in light of the recent statement by Chief Justice Martha Koome, who had invited stakeholders to engage in a constructive discussion on the conduct of judges and other judicial officers.

Gachagua said he welcomed Koome’s statement, which he said was in line with President William Ruto’s call for a national dialogue on the critical issue of judicial transparency and accountability.

He urged all Kenyans to support this process, which he said was vital for the rule of law, democracy and good governance.

“I note the current national discourse on judicial transparency and application of Article 10 of the Constitution of Kenya on the conduct of judges and other judicial officers. I welcome the statement by Chief Justice Martha Koome inviting dialogue on this critical issue, which H.E President William Ruto has embraced,” the statement read.

“I urge all Kenyans to support this process, which is essential for the integrity, independence and effectiveness of the Judiciary, as well as the respect for the rights and freedoms of all citizens,” the statement read.

Gachagua stated that, at present, he has decided not to pursue the petition against Maina but retains the option to take legal action in the future if deemed necessary.

Initially facing charges of embezzlement and money laundering leveled by Maina, Gachagua had the case dropped upon assuming office. Subsequently, he has accused Maina of bias, misconduct, and violation of the Constitution of Kenya.
