He says it was hasty for the JSC to, on April 27, announce Justice Martha Koome’s (pictured) nomination. The High Court had issued orders to pave way for the hearing of four cases challenging the recruitment process. One of the cases before the High Court is filed by Philip Muchiri and Damaris Ndirangu. According to Havi, the issues raised before the High Court may never be resolved and will encumber subsequent actions and decisions by the JSC. While questioning Koome’s suitability as CJ, the LSK says she had twice given rulings in questionable circumstances finally determining disputes before the High Court, rendering the claims before the High Court and the appeals.
