President Uhuru Kenyatta is set to meet Chief Justice David Maraga to solve a possible fallout between the executive and the judiciary, reports the nation.
While the paper could not establish the venue of the meeting since the President is still in China, the meeting would however tend to solve deteriorating relationship between the two arms.
Incidentally, the planned Thursday meeting comes days after Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu was arrested and charged with tax evasion among other economic crimes in what she terms as 'fixation' by the executive.
Central of the crisis is rejecting of Justice Mohammed Warsame, who had been appointed to JSC by Appeals Court Judges.
The State is yet to gazette his Anne despite the court giving his appointment a clean bill of health after parliament insisted that he must undergo vetting.
In return, Maraga has refused to swear in three other commissioners and the Attorney General insisting that the ceremony must be done after Warsame is cleared.
The standoff has sabotaged operations in the Judicial Service Commission, which is responsible for recruitment and disciplining of judges.
With Mwilu still facing criminal Judges, only five members of the 11 can sit for a meeting a clear indication of quorum hitch.
Also, Maraga had complained after parliament slashed Judiciary budget from Sh17 billion to 14 billion, another reason why the two supremos are meeting.
