It is now emerging that one of the Supreme Court judges has had a long-running romantic affair with one of the lawyers who appeared for ODM leader Raila Odinga.
Justice Philomena Mwilu has reportedly been having a romantic relationship with Busia Senator Amos Wako.
The two are said to have met in 1997 when Mwilu, who was working as a legal executive at a local insurance company, visited the former AG for some official assistance.
At the time of their meeting, Mwilu had three children while Wako had two from his first wife.
In the diplomatic and political inner circles, the Deputy Chief Justice is regarded as Wako's de facto second wife to the extent that many of their invitations to special events are addressed to them as a couple.
The Nairobian quoted a number of close friends to the two learned partners who indicated that the two are "perfect partners".
“I drink with Wako regularly. He loves his whiskey and he doesn’t mind drinking till late, but in more than a decade, I have never seen him with any other woman ,” the anonymous friend stated.
Wako and Mwilu's romance, although not solidified in a formal marriage, has also been the subject of litigation.
