I’m happy with Ahmednassir's approach. Despite (or maybe because) he has no diplomatic bone in him.
Especially when he’s asking the difficult questions concerning the considerations some of our judges make in passing their judgements. The law is supposed to be predictable and fairly certain. This can only happen if judges treat all litigants equally, and if they are consistent in what they are doing. How else can you tell what’s likely to happen in court. What we have now is a situation in which it is hard to determine the likely outcome in a case because a judge says this today and says something totally different tomorrow. Why? Obvious answers are corruption and lack of independence meaning thay are taking into consideration unrelated matters (like which side their bread is buttered on). Most of the intervierwees having it rough are those with questionable conduct. As a Kenyan, I’m happy to know. His job is not to massage any candidate’s ego. Whats the point of having a polite, formal interview where everyone is smiling and relaxed but where you dont get the next CJ’s take on these unexplained issues in their CV?
On a lighter note: Imagine Ahmednassir as a diplomat...say, our Ambassador to Uganda...

Justice Kihara...Articulate, intelligent...MAYBE!!!

Being interviewed now...
...Asi...Mwangangi asking whether he will teach adult judges to write well...good handwriting

Always liked him. There are those who claim that he is a gatekeeper and all that but I personally like him as a person and as a judge. Would prefer him or Ang`awa J as a CJ.

For wazua learned friends:
Whats does the draft law on vetting of judges and magistrates say? What format will be used? From these interviews of CJ, there is need for them to worried. Kama ni mimi napatiana resignation rather than face Ahmednasir to ask me about my second lower degree!
