Government Spokesperson Isaac Mwaura has taken a swipe at the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) claiming that they have always targeted the government since it came to power.

In Mwaura's view, LSK has always purposed to sabotage government plans or proposals by challenging them in court.

He argued that the legal society is also behind the court ruling to halt the collection of the contentious Housing Levy which is a cardinal component in the actualization of the government's Affordable Housing project.

"Whenever anything happens, LSK, who had shown support for the other political faction, always resists the government," he said in an interview with Citizen TV on Thursday.

"Their work is to always ensure that now that they have defeated us in vote numbers, let us go to court and humiliate them. What is wrong with wanting to give every Kenyan access to good healthcare, decent homes and provide jobs through them."

Mwaura further lamented that the country's judicial system has been compromised by corrupt individuals who will always work in cahoots with certain individuals to quash the government's proposals.

He also defended the Housing plan, noting that it will largely benefit Kenyans living below the poverty line.

"There is no one who has been employed through the Housing project opposes it," Mwaura added.

Mwaura's sentiments lie on the backdrop of President William Ruto's continued censures against the Judiciary over claims that the courts have been infiltrated with corrupt judicial officers.

He has vowed to weed out the individuals and will not tire of going after dishonourable individuals working in the Judiciary.
