Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei says the state will ensure government-friendly officials are elected to head the Law Society of Kenya (LSK).
The society will hold its national elections from next week but Cherargei who is also a lawyer said they would ensure officials who will be elected are those who will support President William Ruto and the government.
"We will clean the LSK house during the elections so that we get officials who will support the president's agenda," said Cherargei.
Cherargei was speaking during a fundraising meeting at Metkei Girls High School in Keiyo South.
He was among the allies of the president from the Western and the North Rift regions who were present.
The leaders also defended the government's decision to have parents pay fees through the E-citizen portal.
They argue the move would help in the fight against graft and entrench accountability in the management of school funds.
The allies led by the president's aide Farouk Kibet and Cherargei faulted the judiciary for once again being used to frustrate the noble initiative aimed at ending corruption.
"We are wondering about what is happening in our courts. It's now obvious that our courts are hellbent on blocking anything good in this country," said Kibet.
He said courts should support the government in implementing its development programmes instead of aiding sabotage of all noble initiatives.
"If courts continue with what they are doing then it will be difficult to end graft," said Kibet.
During the fundraising, Kibet represented the president.
They raised about Sh40 million to build new infrastructure at the school.
Other leaders present included CS for cooperatives Simon Chelugui, governors Jonathan Bii of Uasin Gishu and Wesley Rotich of Elgeyo Marakwet along with Navakholo MP Emmanuel Wangwe and his Shinyalu counterpart Benard Shinali.
Wangwe and Shinali said they had opted to work with President Ruto and his team to support development programmes he had initiated in all parts of the country.
"We have come here from Western to tell you that your son who is our president is a good person and we support him fully," said Wangwe.
The two also defended the president's plans to revive the economy and fight graft through moves like the centralization of payments through the E-citizen.
Cherargei said parliament would cut down the Sh23 billion budget given to the judiciary and use the money to increase bursaries instead of funding courts to frustrate the government.
He said many cases were stuck in courts for decades but the same courts used minimum time possible to handle cases asked at frustrating the government.
"We want to tell the judiciary that they should shape up or ship out," said Cherargei.
