The Supreme Court of the Republic of Kenya turned 12 this month in a ceremony presided over by Prezzo Bill Ruto. And what was meant to be a celebration of the milestone turned into a harangue from Prezzo Ruto: the courts must not frustrate the government from achieving its agenda, even if that includes taxing Kenyans to death, forcing GMOs down their throats, or scrapping THIS for THAT.

I am exaggerating, of course, but I suppose the Supreme Court judges got the message. They are either going to acquiesce to the dictate of Prezzo or ship out. Never mind that this is supposed to be an independent arm of government.
