Chief Justice Martha Koome has clarified that her comments regarding a protest that damaged the Kikuyu Law Courts did not influence the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) to charge protesters with terrorism.

• 37 individuals were arrested and charged with terrorism following the incident.
• Koome emphasized the independence of the ODPP and the National Police Service in their decision-making processes.
• The odpp cited Koome's remarks when explaining the charges, claiming the protesters intended to evoke fear and disrupt government operations.
