The Church must be the salt and light in these trying times

As we go through the process of selecting the next Chief Justice, one wonders whether it is a process in futility. Public sentiment is that the candidate has already been identified by an Executive uncomfortable with an independent Judiciary. We saw this discomfort during Justice David Maraga’s tenure. This is the only institution that we cannot afford to lose to corrupt political systems. Unfortunately, it is under threat of being infiltrated. We pray that the incoming CJ will uphold the Judiciary's integrity and independence.
