By SAM KIPLAGATMore by this AuthorA five-judge bench on Monday set a date to begin hearing the case filed by the Director Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji concerning the trial of Deputy Chief Justice (DCJ) Philomena Mwilu. Justice Mwilu, whose trial was stopped by the High Court, has challenged the charges brought against her. Mr Haji had asked the Chief Justice (CJ) David Maraga for a bench of five judges to determine whether the DCJ is immune from criminal prosecution. Justice Mwilu stopped the intended prosecution after she rushed to the High Court, arguing that the charges were deliberately and primarily calculated to subject her to public humiliation and embarrassment. The DPP, however, said the charges are not malicious or brought in bad faith but they will demonstrate so when given the chance.
