Two judicial officers at the Kilungu law courts in Makueni have won accolades for swiftly determining defilement cases and ensuring that victims get justice. The praise on magistrates Elizabeth Muiru and Charles Mayamba came from Makueni County Commissioner Maalim Mohammed and Deputy Governor Adelina Mwau. Muiru, a senior resident magistrate, has determined three cases this month alone. “It would be fair if other courts hastened such cases so that we do not see victims suffering while the perpetrators roam free,” Mwau said. Last year, Mayamba, a senior resident magistrate, handed a life sentence to a 50 –year-old man for defiling a 15-year old girl.
