NAIROBI: The appointment of the Chief Justice and Deputy Chief Justice of the Republic of Kenya has reached fever pitch, with Kenyans from all walks of life calling on the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) to give us the Chief Justice we want.
It reminds one of the children of Israel when they confronted the prophet Samuel and told him in no uncertain terms that they wanted a king. The Council of the Law Society of Kenya has weighed in, demanding that the JSC gives reasons why it shortlisted some candidates and left out others.
