Justice, like a river, must not only be done but must be seen to flow transparently. In the current murky waters of misinformation, half-truths float alongside outright fabrications, even the purest streams can be muddied. The recent decision in the Ferdinand Waititu corruption case is a sobering reminder that while justice may be blind, the public is not and neither is social media.
Court decisions can be lost in the noise of distortion. It becomes more baffling when senior legal practitioners, no less, misrepresent court decisions with the reckless abandon of a jester donning a judge’s robe. When such happen, the very institution meant to be the bastion of truth risks erosion. In such times, it becomes not just advisable but imperative for the Judiciary to take charge of its own narrative.
