Martha Koome: First Female Chief Justice of Kenya
- Advertisement -
With thirty-three long years of experience, Martha Koome is all set to become the first female Chief Justice of Kenya, a country where the issue of gender is particularly ambivalent. As a professional, she has played a crucial role in passing legislative and legal rights for Kenyan women.
President Uhuru Kenyatta appointed Koome, who was a Court of Appeal judge. She is going to be replacing David Maraga as the country’s first female head of the judiciary, or any branch of the Kenyan government for that matter. Maraga had created history when the Supreme Court led by him annulled Kenyatta’s election when appeals were made questioning its conduction on grounds of ‘illegalities and irregularities.’
