There will be no media coverage of judicial proceedings if Lucy Wanja Julius is appointed Chief Justice.

Ms Julius, the second female candidate to be interviewed for the position, said media scrutiny of the Judiciary was interfering with judges' decisions. She said if appointed CJ, she would throw journalists out of court if parties said they did not want media coverage.
