“The confrontation, threats, or attacks against judicial officers are unacceptable, criminal, and a direct assault on the rule of law,” declared President Ruto. He emphasized that the police have a crucial responsibility to ensure the safety and security of all Kenyans, particularly those serving in the judiciary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What happened to Hon. Kivuti is unacceptable; it must never happen again. I urge the police to prioritize the safety of our judicial officers as they fulfill their duties,” the President added solemnly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monica Kivuti, the Principal Magistrate at Makadara Law Courts, was fatally shot in Court Room 9 last Thursday by Samson Kipchirchir Kipruto, the OCS of Londiani Police Station. The shooting reportedly occurred after Kipruto disagreed with the magistrate’s decision to deny bail to his wife, who was accused of obtaining Ksh2.9 million through fraudulent means. Kipruto was immediately neutralized by other police officers present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Ruto praised Kivuti as a dedicated and diligent judicial professional who served the nation with commitment. Following her tragic death, Chief Justice Martha Koome declared Tuesday, June 18, a day of mourning and ordered all courts to remain closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the incident, the National Police Service has pledged to collaborate closely with the Judiciary to bolster security measures for all judiciary personnel across the country. The President’s directive underscores the government’s commitment to safeguarding the independence and integrity of the judiciary amidst rising security concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
