President Kenyatta was in the lead with 54% of the vote, but opponent Raila Odinga reported the evidence of the hacking to the Supreme Court. The Chief Justice ruling acquitted Kenyatta of any misconduct. The supporters of the president were disappointed with the ruling, while many Kenyans praised the ruling against President Uhuru Kenyatta, and restoring the independence of the [[judiciary]].

The 2010 Constitution gives the Chief Justice the power to issue an advisory to the President to dissolve Parliament if a court has declared that Parliament has failed to enact any of the laws required to give full effect to the Constitution within the timelines provided in the Constitution. These laws, and the timelines within which they are to be enacted by Parliament, are listed in the Fifth Schedule to the Constitution. The Two-thirds Gender Rule had been the subject of years of litigation by civil society organizations which resulted in numerous Court Orders requiring Parliament to pass the law but the House did not enact any such legislation despite several extensions of the original 5-year deadline.

One such petition was filed in March 2019 by Yusuf Dimbil through lawyer Charles Koech on grounds that the Chief Justice allegedly attended Jubilee Party's political rallies, employed people from his ethnic Kisii group in the judiciary and made unconstitutional utterances.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Man petitions JSC to sack Chief Justice David Maraga|url=https://nation.africa/kenya/news/man-petitions-jsc-to-sack-chief-justice-david-maraga-148254|access-date=2021-01-12|website=Nation|date=28 June 2020 |language=en}}</ref> Maraga had earlier been spotted attending a Jubilee Party rally headlined by President Kenyatta and his Deputy [[William Ruto]] in Kisii.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Uproar as CJ David Maraga attends Uhuru rally in Kisii|url=https://nation.africa/kenya/news/politics/uproar-as-cj-david-maraga-attends-uhuru-rally-in-kisii-141222|access-date=2021-01-12|website=Nation|date=3 July 2020 |language=en}}</ref> He was also accused of tribalism, employing only members of his Kisii tribe in his office. The petition claimed that nearly 85% of the staff in the Office of the Chief Justice under Maraga were from his Kisii ethnic group. These included his chief of staff, personal assistant, legal counsel, secretaries and other staff. In August 2019, Francis Obilo filed a petition seeking the removal of the Chief Justice over his failure to name a three judge bench to hear a case that had been filed against the judiciary over the institution's failure to pay rent for a building which had been leased to house the Court of Appeal.<ref>{{Cite web|date=August 20, 2019|title=Petitioner wants Maraga removed over judges Sh146m rent row case|url=https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/bd/economy/petitioner-wants-maraga-removed-over-judges-sh146m-rent-row-case-2261784|access-date=2021-01-12|website=Business Daily|language=en}}</ref> In 2013, the judiciary entered into a six-year lease agreement of Elgon Place in Upper Hill for an annual rent of Sh603.6 million to be used by the Court of Appeal. However, the building went unoccupied because the judges declined to occupy office spaces citing potential radiation risks. Another petition seeking Maraga's removal was filed in March 2020 by activist Okiya Omtata who alleged that the Chief Justice had interfered with the independence of a judge in discharging his judicial functions by removing an active case file from the judge while judgment was pending.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Ogila|first=Japheth|title=Omtatah files petition to remove Chief Justice David Maraga|url=https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/kenya/article/2001363060/omtatah-files-petition-to-remove-cj-maraga|access-date=2021-01-12|website=The Standard|language=en}}</ref> The activist had filed a case in the Employment & Labour Relations Court to challenge a move by the government to re-advertise the vacancy for the auditor general.<ref>{{Cite web|date=January 17, 2020|title=Court halts recruitment of Auditor-General|url=https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/bd/news/court-halts-recruitment-of-auditor-general-2276890|access-date=2021-01-12|website=Business Daily|language=en}}</ref> On the day the Court was to deliver judgment, the presiding judge informed the parties that he had not been able to prepare the judgment since the Chief Justice had called for the file from his docket for unexplained reasons.

He also earned the praise of many Kenyans for his bravery and integrity, especially following the nullification of the 2017 presidential election results, his advisory calling on the President to dissolve Kenya's Parliament and his many public statements condemning the presidency over budgetary cuts and the failure to appoint the JSC's judicial nominees. However, judiciary insiders have mixed views of his tenure. His reform record pales in comparison to his predecessor Willy Mutunga who achieved far reaching results with the Judiciary Transformation Framework. Maraga's legacy as an administrator was particularly tainted by the widespread perception that he preferred members of his Kisii ethnic group in appointments within the judiciary in general and his office in particular. By the time he left office, the judiciary's relations with Parliament and the executive branch were at an all-time low. The judiciary suffered from constant budgetary cuts and the refusal of the President to appoint 41 judicial nominees despite several orders from the High Court. These challenges can be blamed in part on the August 2017 decision of the Supreme Court to nullify President Kenyatta's win, following which the President threatened to pursue unspecified retaliatory measures against the judiciary. As a show of this poor relationship, no senior officials from Parliament or the Executive attended his retirement and hand over ceremony. The leadership of the judiciary's close partners such as the attorney general, the police and the director of public prosecutions also snubbed the event. Legal scholars are equally divided over his jurisprudential legacy. Kenyan judges of appeal (who sit in benches of 3) and the Supreme Court (who sit in benches of 5 or 7) do not publish information on which justice wrote a majority opinion. Unless an individual justice pens a dissenting opinion or a separate but concurring opinion, there is no way for outsiders to know which judge wrote a decision. Consequently, Maraga's judicial philosophy from his time in the Court of Appeal and in the Supreme Court is difficult to discern. Nonetheless, Justice Maraga is most remembered for his work as the chairperson of the Judiciary Committee on Elections and his electoral law jurisprudence which culminated in the nullification of the August 2017 presidential election results. ==Personal life== David Maraga is married to Yucabeth Nyaboke, with whom they have three children; Dr. Edith K. Maraga, Emma I. Maraga-Mangoa, and Moses K. Maraga. He is also a grandfather of two. Maraga is a staunch Seventh-day Adventist. He is an elder and a Bible study leader in the church.
