Chief Justice Martha Koome has sent a condolence message following the death of Zambia’s Chief Justice Hon Irene Chirwa Mambilima who passed on Sunday while in Cairo, Egypt on an official visit. In a statement Monday, CJ Koome says Justice Mambilima was a beacon and a trail blazer, having been appointed the first woman Chief Justice of the Republic of Zambia in 2015. “Prior to the appointment, she had served her nation in other capacities, not only as a Deputy Chief Justice but also a Supreme Court Judge and High Court Judge. She said Justice Mambilima will be remembered fondly for her impact not only in her country, Zambia, but also across Africa. ” The Kenya Judiciary was privileged to work with Justice Mambilima in various regional and international forums for judiciaries.
