STATEMENT BY CHIEF JUSTICE WILLY MUTUNGA

My attention has been drawn to the widespread media reports concerning the incident at a city mall involving the Hon. Lady Justice Nancy Baraza, the Deputy Chief Justice. This matter has rightly generated considerable public interest and should be dealt with conclusively and satisfactorily. I am in the process of getting full facts surrounding the incident.

I reiterate my commitment and that of the leadership of the Judiciary to the Rule of Law and our steadfast belief in the equality of all before the law. Indeed the Constitution of Kenya envisages an open and democratic society based on human dignity, equality, equity, freedom and non discrimination. Nobody or institution in Kenya is above the law. This is the creed that we strive to uphold at the Judiciary.

The Judiciary is instituting its own internal investigations. In this regard, I am convening an emergency meeting of the Judicial Service Commission to discuss this matter.

I recognise that the police are conducting their own investigations into the matter which should be allowed to proceed without undue influence or interference from any quarters.

Dr Willy Mutunga,
Chief Justice, President of the Supreme Court
Nairobi
