Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu has called for the appointment of a woman as the country’s next Chief Justice.
In a statement on Thursday, Ngilu stated that there could never be a better moment to have the first-ever female head of the Judiciary -one of the three arms of government.
“There could never be a better moment to have the first woman chief justice in this country than right now,” Ngilu noted.
With the other two arm s of the government (Executive and Legislature) headed and deputized by men, Governor Ngilu reckons that it is time to have a woman heading the Judiciary.
“…since the promulgation of the 2010 constitution, the trend has been to have women deputize men as Chief Justice. It’s now time to have a woman leading the Judicial arm of government,” she added.
She argued that selecting a woman Chief Justice would be a great stride towards the inclusion of women in “high table conversations to shape the future of the country.”
“We note that highly qualified, competent, and experienced women candidates are being interviewed for the position of Chief Justice,” said Ngilu.
“Having women at the high table must not be an afterthought, a favor, or an act of magnanimity and tokenism. It must be an active ingredient in crafting the development framework of this nation.”
Among the 10 candidates shortlisted for the position of Chief Justice, only three are women. They are Justice Martha Koome, Patricia Mbote, and Alice Yano.

Not on a platter. She has to be qualified.
Nothing wrong with a woman…
Nothing wrong with a woman being the next CJ. If we are trying to correct a historic injustice,That’s the way to go.Otherwise,lets pick the most suitable candidate for the job,and that’s on merit,and experience.
Criterion that will flank all 10 candidates, is if impeccable integrity is a must.

It’s time jambazi Kaluki was charged with 2003 looting of shs 2.3m,HIV/AIDs cash.She should also face 2017 arson burning of a charcoal truck belonging to Kariuki.Time has come to replace gender and tribe with qualifications and merit while appointing a CJ.Only a mad person will follow Ngilu’s advice.
Bump up x2.
Why is this…
Bump up x2.
Why is this woman still free??!!! Its been shown time and time again how she has looted from the public, is very corrupt, yet slides away. After that Health stint I was soo disgusted, I resolved never to vote for any woman from ukambani. This has to be the devil incarnate who masquerades with her name, yet puts the hyenas to shame!
It seems her latest stint is to try and pander to the liberal west by claiming to be an activist by going the woman route even though it has no merits on itself. If we are to divvy up roles based on gender, would the outcome be that different? I shudder to think if we are to get more “leaders” like these who hoodwink young girls and wananchi yet are plain thieves of the highest order. We will be doomed if she has more of her kind to steal public funds. Kuma chafu hii. Stay away from this rotten, disgusting excuse of a politician.
If the women are competent…
If the women are competent and qualified why is she pulling the gender card? Its even stupid to have women reps. Women make the largest proportion of voters but they don’t elect their own, they elect men meaning they don’t want to sit at the high table.
Your argument is simply…
Your argument is simply silly and stupid! How do m n like you get this insane? Nonsense!
Total bullst Ngilu. Its time…
Total bullst Ngilu. Its time every citizen in Kenya fights for any opportunities available regardless of their gender. It should be their ability to serve and not because they are a woman or man. This nonsense has been used by women cons for the last 30 years and we now see them dominating in all major companies and businesses all over the world! Still they play the gender card to get themselves to the top! Look whats happening now to men and more so the boy child, they are slowly getting marginalized to oblivion and no one is saying a thing. Men, time for you to wake up. It is a fact, women dominate everywhere! Again it started 30 years ago. Time for gender rebalance in education access and other opportunities.
Ngilu – is it about a woman,…
Ngilu – is it about a woman, man, hymophrodite, or is it about getting someone who can get the job done! Mwilu is a woman deputy CJ but she has miserably failed in that job!

We’ve had 2 women deputy CJ who’ve got into trouble. That says a lot about them. Women are known to bite each other like crazy. We need someone qualified. Feminist America never had women CJ or president yet. Person must be selected on merit. Must have outgrown kitchen politics and gossip. Period
