The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) dismissed a letter by Senior Counsel Philip Murgor seeking to bar Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu from sitting in the ongoing interviews for candidates seeking for the Chief Justice position.
The letter dated Thursday, April 15, effectively lay the groundwork for a much-awaited face-off between Mwilu and Murgor who is set to appear before the JSC panel on Friday morning, April 16.
The Senior Counsel had claimed that DCJ s presence in the interviews would likely lead to bias and favoritism towards his rival candidate, Senior Counsel Fred Ngatia.

Justice David Marete has defended the state of his mental health while appearing for an interview for the position of Chief Justice at the Supreme Court.
The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) panel sought to find out why Justice Marete still has a card for persons with disabilities to this day.
He responded: “I have no mental issues. There was an error on my card and I have never had the time to correct the issue. I highlighted I have visual disability and Diabetes from time to time.”
Justice David Marete Njagi is on the hot seat as he seeks to replace the former CJ David Maraga, who retired in January this year.
