The High Court sitting in Meru has given Deputy Chief Justice Philemona Mwilu up to March 4 to continue acting as head of Judiciary in a case filed by a petitioner.
Isaiah Mwongela is seeking to have Mwilu stopped from acting as Judiciary head, Supreme Court judge and chair of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) due to cloud of integrity issues hanging over her head.
The petitioner was first granted orders against Mwilu on January 29 by Justice Patrick Jeremy Otieno who on the February 1 temporarily suspended those orders for 11 days after Mwilu filed an urgent application seeking to suspend the decision barring her from occupying her office and discharging her duties as the acting Chief Justice.
