Deputy President William Ruto has contradicted his boss, President Uhuru Kenyatta, over the failure to appoint six judges recommended by the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).

The Second in Command has now called for the swearing-in of the six judges left out by the President and that they be given a platform to defend themselves. Speaking during an interview on Radio Jambo, Ruto said there was still a chance the judges could be sworn in noting that they should not be condemned unheard.
