By TIMOTHY KEMEIA section of leaders from Ainamoi Constituency in Kericho County have expressed their disappointment following the swearing in of Justice David Maraga as the new Chief Justice. In a telephone interview on Wednesday, Mr Emmanuel Kiplangat Kirior, an Ainamoi parliamentary seat aspirant who had filed a petition in the National Assembly asking Members of Parliament to reject Justice Maraga’s nomination, said he was disappointed with the appointment of Justice Maraga as the new CJ. A second petition was also filed in Parliament by Ainamoi resident Tom Biegon, who is also a close confidante of current Ainamoi MP Benjamin Langat. The petitions were based on a ruling delivered by Justice Maraga in a case on the killing of David Kimutai Too, then Ainamoi MP. However, Mr Kirior insisted that the people of Ainamoi remained convinced that justice eluded them when Mr Moeche was jailed for only 10 years.
