However, a section of Kenyans have expressed their concerns that President Uhuru Kenyatta was cherry-picking from the list of judges which was submitted by the Judicially Service Comission (JSC) for his appointment.
The president rejected the names of Prof. Joel Ngugi, Aggrey Muchelule, George Odunga and Weldon Korir who were recommended for the Court of Appeal.
