Kenyan Chief Justice David Maraga on Monday made a public appearance since the reading of detailed Presidential petition on the nullification of President Uhuru's August 8th victory, when he attended the opening of the Commonwealth Magistrates and Judges Conference being held in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania.
When time for his introduction reached, Maraga was received with loud cheers from participants in delight of his presence at the conference, following his landmark, historic ruling that was first of its kind in the African Continent. A section of participants further went ahead to give him a standing ovation.
Tanzania Chief Justice Ibrahim Juma gave a special mention of the Kenyan President od the Judiciary and commended his efforts of safeguarding the Constitution.
"We are deeply honoured by your presence - Hon Chief Justice Maraga," said Judge Juma.
However, Justice Maraga refused to give an interview to journalists, opting to maintain a low-profile during the event.
Maraga and four other apex court judges-Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu, Smokin Wanjala and Isaac Lenaola declared invalid, null and void the reelection of President Uhuru on grounds that the electoral commission committed illegalities and irregularities in conducting the poll. They ordered a fresh poll be held within 60 days.
Members of the Jubilee Party have, however, accused Maraga and his team of robbing President Uhuru Kenyatta of clear victory.

Tanzania is doing great, they don't need Maraga. Kenya needs Maraga to ensure electral laws as per the constituiion is safeguarded. Heko kwake for refusing to bow down to corruption. Most ethical and moral being, si kama @sokora who choses to blindly ignore facts.
JAGI Mkuu wa sharia simama IMARA, TUKO NA WEWE HADI MWISHO.
Magufuli who started out as an angel in Tanzania has become the real antifreedom of speech tyrant. Tanzanians are cheering out of desperation for free speech. Its not about Magara and his incompetent judgement. Magara should thank Kenya for Judiciary independence.
Si ahamie huko.
kweli TZ iko nyuma kama ni inchi ya kusifu mkora cj...
sasa kukaribisha cj mfisandi ambaye anaweka masilahi ya wale wanapea yeye pesa mingi ni maendeleo TZ...

Normal thinking person will never even host mkora cj....
CJ MARAGA, THE MAN WITH A BACKBONE. GIVE TI THEM IN THEIR FACE!
Come the next election.The Supreme Court of Kenya needs to ensure that they act righteously. That is by: 1) affirming the will of the people and 2)Not engaging in maleficent-boneheaded theft of the will of the people.My free Political Advice to the Supreme Court of Kenya is:If you engage in stealing the vote of the people.Then you should know that the anger and the antipathy of Kenyans against the supreme court of Kenya is going to increase.This will lead to even greater public demand for more political sanctions against the Supreme court.It is also going to further destroy the credibility of the supreme court of Kenya and the judiciary at large in Kenya.Therefore may the judges at the supreme court conduct themselves with Honesty, Good Ethics, Righteousness and strict fidelity to the clear will of the people.May the Judges of the supreme court be very cognisant of the risks and costs to the country that elections and especially unnecessary repeat elections are.
Do Tanzanians and the rest of this so called African Chief Justice know why they were giving a standing ovation?. They need to get facts first before jumping into conclusion on things they don't know. Maraga is NOT a HERO but a conspirator who conspired with opposition leadership to rob His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta a decisive win. I don't expect Tanzanian to know whole lot about democracy since they just came out of the yoke of Socialism where the ideals of democracy was a myth.
Hehehehe waafrica wanasimamia judge mkora.Wait for the evidence to b tabled how they were bribed.This judges relied on the registrars info who gave the wrong information that forms were not signed n were fake which judge njoki n ojwang said they were not coz they went through them.Today the eacc n dpp r asking for those forms from registrar n she refused for investigations??Why is she refusing to give them the forms????Guys let's wait coz it seems this 4 wakora judges n registrars were together on this bribery from NASAlites
TZ will cheer at anything that stick it up for Jamhuri. The moment your neighbors take sides in a family feud, it is time reconsider your relationship with them.
@Ufisadi. I agree with you. Ndugu Maraga can be an exceptional president of Kenya. He is capable of vacuuming all the dust that has accumulated in Kenya since 1963.
Maraga for president! He will clean up the judiciary, the police. These two institutions are the basis of a corrupt free nation.
Hehehehe imara be used to Kikuyus n kalenjins presidency for a long long long time until they say they r tired of it???Swallow that painful truth
Oh my gawd, you guys can have him! Don't come back you disgrace!
Move to Tanzania. They need you more there.
