Former Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) chairman Irungu Nyakera has warned that Kenya is at risk of being ruled by force because of what he terms Parliament's incompetence under President William Ruto. In a statement on Wednesday, April 16, he spoke out against increasing attacks on the judiciary, saying that it is the only arm of the government still standing. "For Kenya to work, all three arms of government must function independently.
If Parliament remains captured, Kenya risks being ruled by force and not by law," Nyakera warned. "The reason you have been seeing so much activism against the judiciary is because it is the last line of defence for Kenyans, and the executive has been unable to penetrate it!"
