When former Chief Justice Willy Mutunga took over as the head of the Judiciary in 2011, he spoke of a horrible institution.
The system he inherited was well-known for inefficiency, corruption, and bias. And four months after being sworn in, Dr Mutunga said of the Judiciary: “We found an institution so frail in its structures; so thin on resources; so low on its confidence; so deficient in integrity; so weak in its public support that to have expected it to deliver justice was to be wildly optimistic. We found a Judiciary that was designed to fail.”
