[Collins Kweyu, Standard]Chief Justice Martha Koome today (Monday) received the instruments of power from Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu who was the acting CJ. But Mwilu urged CJ Koome to look beyond her gender and focus on serving the people of Kenya. She recalled how there was contention about what the title preceding the women's judges title should be - Mrs Judge, My Lady or Lady Justice.
