Law professor Dr Moni Wekesa who is eyeing the position of Chief Justice on Thursday said he will take Judiciary to the public and hire musicians to sing songs about the institution and the work it does. Wekesa who has been a law teacher since 2010 disagrees with courts or Judiciary legislating in the strict sense of the word. Wekesa will also get at least 15 scholarships for Judiciary staff annually to improve on their competences. Professor Olive Mugenda who chairs the JSC panel questioned the rule asking how poor university students can afford suits. If appointed a CJ, the law professor said he will negotiate with the Executive in order to have 41 judges whose hiring has delayed be sworn in.
