Homabay Women Representative Gladys Wanga has weighed in on Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu's ongoing tribulations.
The Deputy President of the Judiciary is facing graft allegations in an ongoing court case, after an alleged involvement in fraudulent dealings earlier.
However, according to Wanga, it is unhealthy to arraign the top judge before her juniors as was the case after her arrest on Tuesday and her second appearance on Wednesday.
Instead, she noted, the case should be forwarded to her employer which is the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), which will then decide her fate.
"Wangepeleka petition JSC ili achunguzwe na ang'olewe iwapo atapatikana na hatia (the allegations should have been forwarded to the JSC which will in turn sack her if found guilty)," she advised.
Wanga was speaking in an interview on Radio Jambo's 'Mazungumzo Waziwazi' Wednesday evening.
Mwilu's arrest came after an approval by Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Noordin Haji, who says that he has enough evidence to prosecute her.
She is also facing tax evasion, forgery and is accused of receiving funds from the Imperial Bank which has since collapsed.
Mwilu was arrested on Tuesday before she was arraigned at the Milimani Law Courts and released on a Sh.5 million bond.
The Lady Justice is being represented by a galaxy of top lawyers led by Siaya Senator James Orengo as she seeks to clear her name.
