Courts of Appeal Judge Martha Koome is on the cusp of making history as the country s first ever female Chief Justice.
Raised from a humble village in Miriiga Mieru in Meru county, the respected judge has beaten stereotypes throughout her career to rank among the top legal minds in the country.
During her vetting, the no-nonsense judge was grilled for her 2017 ruling that she made at night without the approval of the then Chief Justice David Maraga.
