Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu. [George Njunge, Standard]
Senior Counsel Philip Murgor wants Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu stopped from sitting in the interviewing panel in the search for a new Chief Justice to replace David Maraga.
Mwilu is a member of Judicial Service Commission (JSC) and Murgor is one of the candidates. The latter, in a letter to JSC, claims that there might be bias and favouritism towards another candidate, Senior Counsel Fred Ngatia.
Murgor claims that Ngatia had at one time represented Justice Mwilu during her vetting on suitability to be a judge in 2012 and that their relationship would present a conflict of interest.
