Next time join the queue, Ms Baraza, it’s the courtly thing to do and it won’t hurt

If it’s any consolation, though, at least her boss the CJ is, like Mr Nowrojee, one of the most easygoing judicial officials you will ever meet, so maybe we have a balanced Jekyll and Hyde combination running the Judiciary.
-----------------
On a lighter note, the explanation Rebecca Kerubo, the aggrieved guard, gave to television reporters is straight from the Vioja Mahakamani comedy series. Hatua yenye nilichukua nilitoroka (My reaction was to take off)
---------------------
I have had a running conversation with Dr Ruben Richards, a former head of the feared South African anti-corruption unit, the Scorpions, about last week’s article culminating in the rejoinder published elsewhere in this newspaper.
Those discussions set off the thought that considering the politically and ethnically motivated nomination of disappointing candidates for some of these key posts, why don’t we amend the Constitution to allow foreign nationals to apply?
Certainly I would vote for a presidential candidate who promised to follow the Scorpions template and to appoint one of its former chiefs to run a refashioned anti-corruption agency here. That, of course, is a forlorn hope.

Last year I was at a queue at JKIA (the Kenya Airways ticketing line) and I was pleasantly surprised to see the CEO of Kenya Airways (Mr. Titus Naikuni) right behind me in the queue. Upto today, I tell people abt the inspiring humility of such a leader. This is what a leader shld be known for, not arrogance and feel big attitude!!

@atuara, those two cases are as different to each other as day and night, and therefore they can't compare.

Yes, it reminds me too of the day Magret Kenyatta former mayor of Nairobi queued behind me at the post office before public relations rushed to attend to her.Poor very old lady did not even think she deserved to fly over we youngsters on account of her name , let alone her age. All Barazas in public service take note!
