Mr. Anthony Wamukota, who has already admitted to bribing Speaker Wetang\u2019ula and Prime CS Mudavadi, is now gleefully boasting in public bars that he paid a female Luhya judge Sh3 million to secure favorable orders in court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour honour is my pocket,\u201d Wamukota was overheard telling a stunned patron at a hidden joint last week. \u201cI have my own female Luhya judge. With three million, she gives me whatever orders I want. That\u2019s how I fix my cases in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sources say Wamukota has been using the same judge to rubber-stamp his legal moves as he battles through COFEK to stop the recruitment of a qualified CEO. The job requires a master\u2019s degree \u2013 which Wamukota does not have \u2013 but he claims his \u201cjudge on payroll\u201d has already assured him the courts will strike down that requirement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is a master\u2019s compared to a bought bench?\u201d he is said to have laughed.<\/p>\n<p>DRAGGING NAMES IN EVERY BAR<\/p>\n<p>Wamukota\u2019s name-dropping spree now extends beyond politicians to the judiciary. He openly says Wetang\u2019ula and Mudavadi will override any recruitment panel, and his \u201cfriendly female judge\u201d will crush any legal challenge. \u201cI have the executive, the legislature, and now the judiciary \u2013 all on my tab,\u201d he reportedly boasted.<\/p>\n<p>The revelations have thrown a harsh spotlight on claims that justice in Kenya is indeed for sale, with sources at the Judicial Service Commission expressing alarm. Legal watchdogs say such open bragging points to systemic decay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Wamukota\u2019s claims are even half true, then a corrupt cabal of politicians and a rogue judge are actively subverting the rule of law,\u201d a senior lawyer told us.<\/p>\n<p>According to insiders both Wetangula and Mudavadi barely know Wamukota. &#8220;Mudavadi has never interefered with hiring at state agencies. He is a perfect gentleman. Wetangula also doesnt get involved in fight. He is an articulate and highly rated lawyer who cant do something illegal or unethical. The board should not be intimidated. The two gentlemens names is being dragged through mud by one selfish person,&#8221; says an insider.<\/p>\n<p>The court is now the last line of defence \u2013 but if Wamukota is to be believed, even that line has been bought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; By Our Investigative Team SHAMELESS BRAGGART \u2013 A man with no master\u2019s degree has turned the battle for a top CEO job into a brazen expos\u00e9 of deep rot in Kenya\u2019s judiciary.
