She is an amazing woman who has shown us what women can do when they put their mind to something. Power means being able to advocate for social justice as opposed to benefitting self.
She is a lady that supports other females in every achievement. Of the new Chief Registrar of Judiciary,this is what she had to say on her Facebook page, “I join in congratulating Anne Atieno Amadi on her new appointment as the Chief Registrar of Judiciary. It is gratifying to see this position taken by yet another capable woman. I wish her the very best as she plays her new role!”
