Before the National Assembly’s Justice and Legal Affairs Committee (JLAC), Koome said her decision, which was shared with other bench members saved the country from losing public funds. “I received a call from the Registrar of the Court of Appeal and we heard the matter and arrived at a decision which was later confirmed by Supreme Court,” Koome said. The committee chaired by Kangema MP Muturi Kigano is vetting the judge to assess her suitability to head the Judiciary. In a letter dated April 28, the president asked National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi to fast-track the vetting.
