President William Ruto has called for collaboration among the various arms of government to serve Kenyans better.
President Ruto said the various arms of government should learn to work in collaboration and within their mandates.
Ruto was speaking on Tuesday during the swearing-in of the newly appointed judges of the High Court at State House.
He reaffirmed support by the Executive in ensuring Judiciary's capacity to deliver justice.
This, the President said, will be through support for infrastructure development projects.
Ruto said the Constitution of Kenya is clear on the boundaries and respective mandates of the various arms of government.
"It is time to utilise our capacities and resources to establish collaborative frameworks on issues where we can align and advance the national interest without sacrificing our constitutional autonomy," Ruto said.
The Head of State rooted for progressive conversation and engagement through which consensus on ways and means of enabling one another to serve the people better could be attained.
"As the Executive, we have a strong interest in an effective and efficient Judiciary because our nation's economy and security, and the people's rights and freedoms depend on it," the President said.
"For this reason, we shall not hesitate to make our contribution to the enhancement of the Judiciary's capacity to deliver justice in every part of Kenya, especially through support for infrastructure development projects," Ruto said.
The swearing-in of the judges follows the gazettement of their appointment by President Ruto, on May 9, 2024.
The JSC had forwarded the names of the 20 judges to the President after conclusion of the vetting process.
They include Moses Ado Otieno, Alice Chepngetich Bett Soi, Benjamin Mwikya Musyoka, John Lolwatan Tamar, Francis Weche Andayi, Andrew Bahati Mwamuye, Julius Kipkosgei Ng'arng'ar, Wendy Kagendo Micheni, Emily Onyando Ominde, Helene Rafaela Namisi, Alexander Muasya Mutetiand and Julius Mukut Nangea.
