Wiper Democratic Party has joined Kenyan in congratulating Chief Justice nominee Justice David Maraga.
Through Secretary General and Mombasa Senator, Hassan Omar, the party said that Maraga is the right person to steer the judiciary in the right direction.
“As a Political Movement, we take cognisance of the Justice’s professionalism coupled with integrity as he served as judge,” Omar said.
Omar said that Wiper believes that Maraga will continue to successfully carry on the Judicial Transformation Initiative that was started by former CJ Willy Mutunga.
“We though wish to note that Hon. Justice Maraga comes in as Chief Justice as a time of waning public confidence and allegations of partisanship in the Judiciary,” added Omar.
On the nomination of Deputy CJ, Wiper called on Judicial Service Commission to uphold equity and gender parity.
Maraga will succeed Mutunga if he is approved by President Uhuru Kenyatta and the national Assembly.
