THE STANDARD Acting Chief Justice Philemona Mwilu (pictured) yesterday obtained temporary relief after the High Court in Meru set aside orders barring her from discharging her duties owing to an unresolved disciplinary case. The High Court moved to forestall a crisis in the Judiciary by lifting an order that had been issued by the same court last Friday, which prohibited Mwilu from discharging her duties as Deputy Chief Justice, judge of the Supreme Court and member of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC). Three days ago, Meru High Court Judge Patrick Otieno had issued the orders compelling the DCJ to step aside. Now the new orders mean that Justice Mwilu will continue to serve in her role as the acting Chief Justice and President of the Supreme Court.
