Senator Malala offered to 3 goats to chief justice david maraga, which according to him symbolized the three arms of the government; The Executive, the Parliament and the Judiciary.
The Chief Justice rejected the gifts, saying the Judiciary does not allow him to take gifts.
“The senator has donated a gift to me but he has put me in trouble because I think he has a case in court,” he said.
“This donation puts me in a bad situation. First, if I’m not wrong, the Senator has a case in one of the courts. These three goats would cost over Sh20,000, and I cannot accept the animals,” the CJ added.
