TENURE of Philomena Mwilu as acting Chief Justice cut short as the High Court bars her from occupying office of Deputy Chief Justice, sitting on the Supreme Court bench as well as serving as a member of the Judicial Service Commission.

And the way she came in with fujo, attacking a female Kiambu Senior Magistrate she probably sees as a threat. Will this ruling be sustained?

High Court Judge Patrick Otieno has ordered Justice Philomena Mwilu to step aside as Deputy Chief Justice, pending the determination of a case.
The order seen by Standard Digital read: “That a conservatory order is hereby issued against the first respondent restraining her continued occupation of the offices of the Deputy Chief Justice, Judge of the Supreme Court of Kenya, member of the Judicial Service Commission and Ombudsman of the Judiciary.”
The petition, one of many, was filed by Isaiah Mwongela.
The hearing has been set for February 12.

Justice Mwilu has been acting as the Chief Justice since her boss David Maraga retired slightly over two weeks ago.
Before stepping into Maraga’s shoes, she had waived off the petitions seeking her removal from office, saying they do not hinder her from acting as chief justice.
Mwilu is facing another petition by activist Okiya Omtatah, who is seeking to quash former CJ Maraga’s letter that gave a go-ahead to lead the Judiciary in an acting capacity.
