The National Assembly is awaiting official communication from President Uhuru Kenyatta on the proposal for appointment of Justice David Maraga to the position of Chief Justice. According to Speaker Justin Muturi,
once the communication is received the matter will be placed before the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee to vet the nominee for suitability.
Members of the public will get an opportunity to participate in the vetting process.
“We will look of course into the suitability, education and integrity issues to form the basis of our report. According to the law, we must place an advert inviting members of public to participate in the process,” explained Priscilla Nyokabi who chairs the legal affairs committee.
