The Speakers of both the National Assembly and the Senate have assured the new Chief Justice Martha Koome of their support as she assumes the office.

Koome assumed the office on Monday at the Supreme Court, replacing her predecessor, David Maraga.

Koome took her oath of office last Friday.

During the ceremony, Koome received two reports on the state of the Judiciary and the flag of the Supreme Court.

Senate Speaker Kenneth Lusaka and Maraga were among the leaders who attended the ceremony.

Lusaka congratulated the CJ for her new role, saying that through her, Kenyan women firmly have their hope for achievement restored and reaffirmed.

“You come into this space with pomp, celebration and acclamation not only for yourself but the women of Kenya…At the Senate, we will continue to lend our support to your office in its pursuit of fairness, equity, and equality before the law and access to justice,” Lusaka said.
