Kenyans angered by CJ Koome's Toyota Land Cruiser 300 GR Sport

Kenyans on Twitter have reacted to the car that Chief Justice Martha Koome was chauffeured into, to the Madaraka Day celebrations in Embu. 

The Toyota Land Cruiser 300 GR sport has sparked online debates, with some questioning why she is using the ride, yet it is alleged the country has no money. 

Outspoken Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi said that it was absurd for a country which is a poor third-world country, with kids sleeping without food spend $500,000 to buy a car. 

In November 2019, former Chief Justice David Maraga while addressing the media said buying luxury cars is only considered a wastage of public funds when it concerns the Judiciary

Maraga said he has been disrespected for far too long.

"The CJ has no Mercedes car, we were told it's waste yet the two Speakers of the National Assembly have them. I have a Mercedes 350, which is affordable to many while speakers of both houses have Mercedes 500," he said.

"I have never owned a Mercedes myself and I am not bothered. Let the office be treated like the speakers and Uhuru's office.  We should not be taken to be like illegitimate children."
