A new petition seeking the removal of Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu has been filed by Ms. Belinda Egesa through Nairobi lawyer Suleiman Bashir, sparking heated reactions across the country.
The move comes amid growing tensions within Kenya’s judicial system, with critics and supporters weighing in on the implications of such a drastic legal challenge.
The petition has ignited a storm of opinions on social media, with some Kenyans linking it to broader political battles. Sammy, one commenter, accused Mwilu of undermining the judiciary, claiming her actions have led to illegalities in the executive branch.
“She messed with the judicial system, now we have an illegitimate DP and illegitimate actions in this country,” he wrote, reflecting the deep divisions over the legitimacy of Kenya’s current leadership.
Meanwhile, Dallo’s reaction hinted at a larger political game, suggesting that former governors and powerful figures are maneuvering ahead of the 2027 elections.
He referenced a recent court decision overturning an impeachment, claiming it has opened the door for a major political comeback. “Matiang’i and team won’t take this lightly,” he warned, predicting a fierce political showdown in the coming years.
Amid the controversy, Hillary’s comment took a more optimistic tone, offering a spiritual perspective. “Solomon asked for Wisdom, and God added Wealth. Abraham asked for a Son, and God gave him generations,” he wrote, seemingly diverting from the political drama to wish for divine blessings.
The petition against Mwilu raises serious questions about the stability of Kenya’s judiciary and whether this is part of a wider scheme to influence the courts.
With allegations of illegitimacy and political interference swirling, many are left wondering – is this the beginning of a judicial crisis, or just another chapter in Kenya’s turbulent political landscape?
As the legal battle unfolds, all eyes will be on whether the Deputy Chief Justice can survive this latest challenge.
