High voltage political cases can easily destroy a court, and in turn impact the public's confidence in the judicial system. All you need is a political demagogue telling 'his' base that hii ni court bandia!
Look at what happened to ICC for instance!

This vulnerabilities are especially true in young democracies like ours.
So to preserve the courts crucial trust amongst the populace as an arbiter in disputes, it is important that we dont send it a trojan horse

Is anyone else watching Dr. Smokin's interview.

I think they should stop the interviews for cj after this.


Smokin hot...Smokin composed & Smokin smart responses. I like him already



He is trying but some of the questions being asked are hogwash.
Why ask him to say hi acceptance speach should he the succesful candidate?


Ati acceptance speech? What are they smokin over there?


He failed when he said that he wouldnt want to sit in another presidential petition. That whatever the case you will hurt 50% of Kenyans and please 50% of Kenyans. Thats a clear sign of an escapist, someone who doesn't want to deal with the issues


I was also surprised by his answer. I know deep down that is how he feels, but this being an interview, he should have put it better.

There is no space for political correctness.Watu wafungue roho.


Yep. We need someone with balls of steel for that seat. Not a coward like Smoking. Someone the whole country can look up to and trust for that crucial decision regarding presidential petitions. After all handling presidential petitions is one of the key duties for the CJ job.

Have you read the job description of the CJ?


Yes. He or she is the head of the supreme court that handles the presidential petitions.


His decision of opting to disqualify himself from Justice Rawal's /Tonui's case brings out this character. Running away from thorny issues at hand.

The current interviewee is being bulldozed into accepting he is not suitable. They forget that when the high court asked them to consider the other applicants they could have easily have given valid reasons on why they dropped them. Asking to interview them all and then come and bulldoze and try to destroy them infront of the entire country is in bad taste. Very unprofessional.

How did the carpenter end up being interviewed for the CJ's position. Did he meet the minimum requirements or was the panel happy to spend more time on the exercise and earn the inevitable sitting allowance.

All the interviewee that were forced to be interviewed will not make it through.It is just a waste of time and JSC is just complying to the court ruling but they have make up their minds.

Actually, Justice Odunga did not order them to interview them but asked them to reconsider. The carpenter should never have made it to the interview and even he acknowledged that. The JSC just needed to give the reasons why they shortlisted those they did. If you look at the interview today, the ambassador was dropped for three reasons..Not having experience as a lawyer in court, missing documents and for being a commissioner of the defunct ECK. That was very clear from the questioning he went through. So why embarrass him for 3 hours yet they had a good chance to come clear? Sounded like there was a personal vendetta against him. It is the civil society that went to court and even then it was because of the buffalo guy.

@marko, I think reasons must have been communicated to the candidate but still they have an option of withdrawing from the interview at any stage, Commissioner Warsame actually asked the candidate after a the first few questions whether he still wants him to continue..... Why din’t he decline?

It is very unprofessional to apply for a job that you are not qualified.
