JLAC Approves Nomination of Martha Koome for Appointment as Chief Justice

The Justice  and Legal Affairs committee has approved the nomination of Martha Koome for appointment as CJ of Kenya

“This house approves the nomination of Koome for appointment for the CJ position,”  the team said.

Her approval comes after a special session of the committee at the National Assembly on Wednesday, May 19.

The Committee, chaired by Muturi Kigano, tabled a report on the their findings on Justice Koome’s suitability to replace emeritus Chief Justice David Maraga.

Koome was vetted by the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee last Thursday, and was given a clean bill in her pursuits to succeed Justice David Maraga, who retired last December.

During her vetting, Koome pledged to restore harmony and end bad blood among the Judiciary, the Executive and Parliament.

Koome warned corrupt members of the judiciary that she will use their actions as example to warn others.

The Court of Appeal judge made the comments while being vetted by the National Assembly’s Justice and Legal Affairs Committee.
