He advocated, in his writings and judgments, for the development of indigenous, robust, patriotic, decolonized, de- imperialized, pro-people, progressive, gender just, non-racist, non-ethnic, and transformative jurisprudence that is not insular and does not pay unthinking deference to other jurisdictions, regardless of how prominent they may be. He has also advocated for a progressive jurisprudence for Africa and the global south as part of the significant contribution in the struggle for a new just, peaceful, non-militaristic, ecologically safe, prosperous, egalitarian, and equitable socialist world. During his tenure as Chief Justice, Mutunga sought to lay permanent and indestructible foundations for a transformed judiciary. Under the blueprint of the Kenyan Judiciary Transformation Framework 2012- 2016, he achieved impressive progress in bringing the justice system closer to the ordinary people.

  • Experts Weigh in on Designating the Muslim Brotherhood As a Foreign Terrorist Organization
    Experts Weigh In on Designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization February 2017 “I think it would be an incredibly stupid thing to do, the top reason being that it’s not a terrorist group.” Daniel Benjamin, former Ambassador-at-Large and Coordinator for Counterterrorism, U.S. State Department (Politico) “If credible evidence of terrorist activity is not forthcoming, it would quite simply be illegal for the United States to designate the Brotherhood on purely ideological grounds. To be sure, the Egyptian Brotherhood pursues an illiberal agenda in a democratic framework, but that is not a lawless act. Criminalizing the group for a set of ideas, by contrast, would be a lawless act.” William McCants, Senior Fellow, Center for Middle East Policy and Director, Project on U.S. Relations with the Islamic World and Benjamin Wittes, Senior Fellow in Governance Studies (Brookings Institution) “What you have is a disparate network of groups that may or may not meet criteria […] It’s trying to hit a grand slam and it’s probably going to lead to a strikeout.” Jonathan Schanzer, former Treasury Department analyst; Vice President for Research, Foundation for Defense of Democracies (Politico) There is no “evidence that senior Muslim Brotherhood leaders have ordered or condoned [recent violent acts], or that the Brotherhood has carried out any of the major terrorist attacks that have wracked [Egypt].” Designating the Brotherhood as an FTO would, in effect, “[force] its leaders in that direction [of terror] because all other political and legal avenues will be closed to them.” Michele Dunne, Senior Associate and Director of Middle East Program and Nathan Brown, Nonresident Fellow, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace “A U.S.
