CJ Koome Finally Breaks Silence on Gachagua Impeachment Case, Amid questions raised of her of her loud silence.

Koome made a rare public appearance by visiting the Makadara Law courts on Tuesday aafternoon,  where she interacted with staff.

At some point during the interaction, one member of the public challenged her to speak on Gachagua’s court proceedings.

In response, CJ Koome said,”That is a case that is with the High Court. It has not gotten to me yet.”

Koome’s public appearance comes after it emerged on Tuesday that she had flown out of the country at some point in the last week prompting Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu to constitute a three-judge bench to hear the case challenging Gachagua’s ouster

Gachagua’s legal team had today spent a good amount of time questioning whether Mwilu had the powers to appoint the bench arguing that only CJ Koome had the authority to do that.

“It is unclear as to circumstances that led to the placement of the file to this bench on a Saturday without the express directions of the Chief Justice on the composition of a bench,” Senior counsel Paul Muite observed
