Former IPOA Chair Anne Waceke Makori was the first candidate to appear before the JSC selection panel.
She was tasked to explain instances when the Supreme Court would act as the first appellate court and on her achievements at the helm of IPOA.
When Court of Appeal Judge Katwa Kigen appeared before the panel, Commissioner Fatuma Sichale probed his close ties with President William Ruto.
Appearing uneasy with the line of questioning Kigen argued that focusing on a single past client would be unfair and disadvantage him compared to other judicial candidates.
They are the last two candidates to be interviewed before the Justice Martha Koome led team retires to make their Judgment in a week’s time.
