A petition seeking to oust Chief Justice Martha Koome has officially been lodged before the Judicial Service Commission. Kenyan activist Michael Kojo Otieno wants Chief Judge Koome to be removed from her leadership position for what he says is a failure to follow the law in the appointment of the tax appeal tribunal after appointing 22 members instead of between 15 to 20. The petition has elicited mixed reactions from Kenyans with a cross-section of leaders terming his plea as inconsequential, rising to the defense of CJ Koome, but who is Michael Otieno?
