My favourite pastime during school holidays was to spend time in the Court House. I loved to sit in my father’s chambers, and in his courtroom, and watch justice being dispensed real time. I have spent many a school holiday in the law courts of Nanyuki, Nyeri, Kajiado, Murang’a, Lamu, Malindi and Othaya. It therefore pierces the very soul of justice when a courthouse is violated. What is important is to avert the damage that is done to the rule of law when the Judiciary is portrayed as not having even sentinel authority over the very temple of justice, the Court House.
