Immediately the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) announced that Martha Koome was the nominee Chief Justice, her world changed from that of a Court of Appeal judge.
Her phone was busy, engaged with numerous calls such that reaching her took a while. She was yet to process that she had earned a title - Madam Chief Justice - a first for Kenya.
