There was heated exchange between superior court Judges Jackton Ojwang and Mohammed Warsame yesterday during the last day of vetting for the position of Chief Justice. A rift between Ojwang and the Judicial Service Commission escalated over his conduct in discharging his duties.

The interview session at one point degenerated into a heated argument between Ojwang and Warsame, leading the latter to seek protection from the commission acting-chairperson Prof Margaret Kobia.
