By NAIRA HABIB September 15th, 2017 1 min read

Kenyans online have defended Chief justice David Maraga against a petition filed by Nyeri Town Member of Parliament Ngunjiri Wambugu to the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) seeking the removal of the CJ from office.

Mr Wambugu on Thursday morning, in a 14-page petition, accused the CJ of gross misconduct.

He claimed that the CJ has been held captive by a group of Non-Governmental Organisations who have been against Uhuru Kenyatta’s presidency since 2013.

Justice Maraga, Deputy CJ Philomena Mwilu, Justice Smokin Wanjala and Justice Isaac Lenaola nullified the August 8, presidential election citing irregularities and illegalities in the transmission of results.

Justices Njoki Ndungu and JB Ojwang dissented, giving the election a clean bill of health.

Here are some of the reactions from Kenyans on twitter.
