Kandara MP Alice Wahome has slammed Justice Juma Chitembwe in a case where he set free a man serving a 20-year jail term for defiling a 13-year-old girl free.

Justice Said Chitembwe is among the 10 applicants that are eyeing the CJ post a couple of months after David Maraga retired as president of the Supreme Court.

Ahmednasir claimed Maraga remained silent after a Supreme Court judge received a huge bribe of KSh 220 million and was named a suspect after investigations.

David Maraga claimed Ahmednasir Abdullahi circulated a defamatory, libelous and scandalous tweet on January 12, which was aimed at tarnishing his good name.

DCJ Philomena Mbete Mwilu, who many hoped, will seek a powerful position and perhaps become Kenya's first female Chief Justice, was not among the applicants.

The applicants are seeking to succeed David Maraga who retired on Tuesday, January 12, upon the attainment of 70 years as stipulated in the 2010 Constitution.

The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) should start fast-tracking the recruitment of Maraga’s successor and also the hearing of all the petitions against Mwilu.

Justice Mumbi Ngugi, ruled that state officers charged with corruption should be barred from office. This is now haunting her DCJ Philomenta Mwilu, her boss.

The decision by a High Court in Meru barring Deputy Chief Justice (DCJ) Philomena Mwilu from acting as chief justice has literally set the internet on fire.
