Dear Kenyans, we are now witnessing a disturbing trend; where, apparently, court orders are not worth the paper they are printed on and can be disregarded at will without any consequence.

This trend, where high-ranking politicians blatantly ignore court directives is a cause for great concern.

One of the alarming manifestations of this is the eviction of individuals from properties with ongoing ownership disputes that are already before the courts.

Such actions, particularly where conservatory orders have been issued, demonstrate a blatant disregard for the rule of law. Those perpetrating such actions seem to dismiss any potential consequences, relying on their proximity to positions of power.

This trajectory is deeply troubling as it sets a precedent where individuals or groups, emboldened by their proximity to those in power, feel justified in taking the law into their own hands and bypassing the judiciary.

In a nation governed by the rule of law, this represents a dangerous deviation from established norms.

The consequences of such actions, if left unchecked, could lead to a breakdown of the legal order and, as Chief Justice Martha Koome warns, potentially push the country into a constitutional crisis.

While it is acknowledged that there may be legitimate concerns about the actions and conduct of some judicial officers, it is crucial to address these concerns within the framework of the law.

Resorting to ignoring court orders or engaging in extrajudicial actions only aggravates the existing problems and is a recipe for anarchy.

It is imperative for all stakeholders to adhere to established legal processes.

Addressing concerns within the law ensures that the country upholds the principles of justice, maintains the rule of law, and avoids descending into a perilous path that could have severe consequences for the nation’s stability and constitutional order.
