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.”
