Chief Justice Martha Koome has strongly condemned the rising cases of abductions and femicide in the country, saying such acts of lawlessness should not be tolerated in a progressive country.
Koome said the country is guided by the rule of law and the constitution and that the rights of every Kenyan should be protected at all times.
Speaking during a Judiciary Open Day forum at Thika Law Courts, CJ Koome said the Judiciary will not relent in its duty to uphold justice, adding that it remains steadfast in upholding the rule of law without fear or favour.
She said instead of holding abductees for days, weeks, or months, those involved should present them in court for a fair hearing.
