Justice Martha Koome made history on Friday when she was sworn in as Kenya's first female Chief Justice at State House, two days after the National Assembly approved her nomination to the position. President Kenyatta called on Koome to honour the affirmation she took before assuming the duties of the Chief Justice. The head of state went on to wish the 15th Chief Justice the best of luck and assured her of cooperation and support in her duties. Justice Ouko, both of you [with CJ Martha Koome] have grown in the Judiciary system, there's nothing I can teach you [about the rule of law].
