Cecil Miller will take over the case from senior deputy solicitor-general Muthoni Kimani, who has been acting on behalf of the AG. The Law Society wanted the Chief Justice to appoint a bench, arguing that the payments involved the management of public funds and good governance which could only be decided by uneven number of judges. “It would be a grave miscarriage of justice for the country if the government goes unchallenged for paying the huge amount not approved by Kenyans. This is why the CJ must appoint a three-judge bench to determine the legality of the payments,” said layer James Mwamu. The case will be mentioned on July 11.
