Immediate former Chief Justice David Maraga has underscored the need for democracy in East Africa and downplayed allegations that they had plans to interfere with the internal affairs and politics of Tanzania, which led to the detention of activist Boniface Mwangi for several days before he was released.
“The reason I went to Tanzania was not to cause chaos there, it was in solidarity of Tanzania’s opposition leader Tundu Lissu. We have no interest to fight the government of Tanzania or any other government,” Maraga said.
The former CJ says he will work with like-minded politicians and parties in his quest to vie for the presidency in the 2027 general elections.
Maraga was speaking in Kombani, Kwale County, during the opening of the United Green Movement (UGM) Party.
