Ugenya MP Condemns Public Attacks on Judges, Calls for Due Process in Fighting Corruption
- Ugenya MP David Ochieng criticized Kenya Kwanza politicians for attacking judges who cannot publicly defend themselves
- Ochieng said it erodes public confidence when politicians name specific judges as corrupt in rallies
- Ochieng supports fighting corruption but disagrees with the approach of "public lynching" of judges
- Ochieng said corruption is in all arms of government, not just the judiciary, so it's wrong to single out judges
- Ochieng stressed due process should be followed in fighting corruption, not mob justice targeting individuals
