I WILL RESTORE THE JUDICIARY’S LOST GLORY,MUTUNGA SAYS : STORY BY AMUGASHA KALENGEKA

Justice Willy Mutunga has vowed to restore the judiciary’s lost glory, moments after he was sworn in the country’s new chief justice.

In a ceremony presided over by President Mwai Kibaki and PM Raila Odinga Justice Mutunga went down in history as the first chief justice to be sworn in under the new constitution.

In a statement immediately after the swearing ceremony, justice Mutunga has called for corporation amongst all arms of government while maintaining separation of power as required by the new constitution.

Mutunga emphasized that the country and those in the judiciary must uphold the rule of law without equivocation and further reiterated the need to for a level ground for every one before the law.

 He urged other officials in the judiciary not to fall under the lure of corruption and uphold the spirit of the new constitution by promoting fairness, independence and honesty.

Thanking the citizen on the powers bestowed upon him, the new CJ stated that the court will now be accessible to everyone and that all  rulings and pronouncements will be according to the law.

The deputy CJ Nancy Barasa on the other hand expressed gratitude for the people of Kenya for their confidence in her and promised to deliver. She called for the people’s support to ensure justice for all.

However, five judges who were nominated by the Judicial Service Commission for the Supreme Court did not take part in the event following a High court ruling issued on Friday that barred them from participating in the process.

High court Judge Justice Jeanne Gacheche issued the directive following a successful application filed by FIDA and other non governmental bodies challenging their appointment on the grounds of gender disparity.

Keriako Tobiko also survived a heated debate in parliament and protest by members of the public to be sworn in today.

In his speech after the swearing in of the three judicial office holders president Kibaki expressed his confidence in them but challenged them to initiate the changes that Kenyans yearned for. He expressed optimism that they will clear backlogs of cases within the jurisdiction.
