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.
Our conversation was short and she assured all was well for Judiciary and the country. “You are in safe hands and I thank God you prayed for me,” she said yesterday.
