In the past, politicians ignored court orders and even commented on cases pending before court knowing no action would be taken against them.

The CJ, who arrived at the Nairobi law courts around 11.45 pm wearing a jungle green suit with peach shirt, was accompanied by members of the Judicial Service Commission and his close relatives — his brother, daughter and son.

At the law courts, he went into a meeting with representatives from High Court and Court of Appeal judges.

Those who met him were Appeal judges Philip Waki, Emmanuel O’kubasu, High Court judges Mbogholi Msagah, John Mwera, Muga Apondi, Nicholas Ombija and Jeanne Gacheche.
