The Committee on Appointments of the National assembly on Thursday vetted the Attorney General nominee made by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Justice Paul Kihara Kariuki, who is expected to take over from Professor Githu Muigai appeared before the committee, led by Majority Leader in Parliament Aden Duale and his Minority counterpart John Mbaddi.
It is during the vetting process that one nominated MP; David Ole Sankok revealed that Kihara will be successful in his quest to become the next Attorney General.
Sankok, during his questioning, revealed how sure he was that he (Kihara) will be successful.
Justice Kihara defended himself against allegations of misconduct, over a decision he made on the eve of the October 26th election that is now under investigation by the Judicial Service Commission.
“The sub-committee of the Judicial Service Commission that is investigating you on the matter of the appointment of the returning officers by IEBC,” queried Majority Leader Aden Duale.
“I don’t think it will be proper for me to discuss this in this house because that will be pre-empting what the Judicial Service Commission have to say,” he replied.
