WHY and How Lady Justice Martha Koome beat Fred Ngatia SC to be nominated Chief Justice of Kenya
Lady Justice Martha Koome Karambu has been tipped to be the next Chief Justice of Kenya, highly placed sources based at State House have revealed.
Koome, who has more than thirty years of experience in legal practice, and was born Kithiu Village in Miragamieru in Meru County, edged out Senior Consel Fred Ngatia who was a favourite candidate of the system.
Kenya News Day reliably learnt that Justice Koome, who is an Appeals Court Judge and an acclaimed expert in family law, emerged as favourite to replace retired Chief Justice David Maraga after winning endorsement of powerful stake holders with close links to President Uhuru Kenyatta.
