Speaking during the burial ceremony for Cockar whose remains were buried at the Kariokor Muslim cemetery later on Monday, Maraga described him as a flare of motivation for many on the bar and the bench.

"Former colleagues in the Judiciary and the legal profession agree that Cockar left an indelible footprint in Kenya as a former public servant, lawyer and family man," Maraga said. 

The Chief Justice also challenged Kenyans to read Cockar's autobiography 'Doings, Non- doings and Mis-doings' that he launched in 2012.

Cockar, who served as Kenya's second Asian Chief Justice between 1994 and 1997 died aged 93.
