Murgor, Mwilu clash over Chief Justice 'vacuum' in Judiciary

He was responding to a question by acting CJ Mwilu on the challenges of presiding Judges in the Judiciary. Murgor insisted that Mwilu is an Acting Chief Justice meaning the office is vacant as there is no substantive office holder. However, Murgor told Mwilu that he was in no way disrespecting her as Acting CJ but only stating a fact. The lawyer said that Mwilu is an Acting CJ and not the Chief Justice.
