The petition claimed that nearly 85% of the staff in the Office of the Chief Justice under Maraga were from his Kisii ethnic group. These included his chief of staff, personal assistant, legal counsel, secretaries and other staff. </p><p>In August 2019, Francis Obilo filed a petition seeking the removal of the Chief Justice over his failure to name a three judge bench to hear a case that had been filed against the judiciary over the institution's failure to pay rent for a building which had been leased to house the Court of Appeal.<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 2013, the judiciary entered into a six-year lease agreement of Elgon Place in Upper Hill for an annual rent of Sh603.6 million to be used by the Court of Appeal. However, the building went unoccupied because the judges declined to occupy office spaces citing potential radiation risks. </p><p>Another petition seeking Maraga's removal was filed in March 2020 by activist Okiya Omtata who alleged that the Chief Justice had interfered with the independence of a judge in discharging his judicial functions by removing an active case file from the judge while judgment was pending.<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The activist had filed a case in the Employment & Labour Relations Court to challenge a move by the government to re-advertise the vacancy for the auditor general.<sup id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> On the day the Court was to deliver judgment, the presiding judge informed the parties that he had not been able to prepare the judgment since the Chief Justice had called for the file from his docket for unexplained reasons. </p><p>Yet another petition was filed in June 2020 by an activist who alleged that the Chief Justice had breached the Code of Conduct when he made public utterances condemning President Kenyatta for refusing to appoint 41 individuals nominated by the Judicial Service Commission for judicial appointment.<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-31" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Child-support_case">Child-support case</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=David_Maraga&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Child-support case"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>On 30 June 2020, a 30-year-old woman caused a dramatic scene at the Milimani Law Courts in Nairobi, where she alleged that Chief Justice Maraga had neglected a child they had together in 2014 following an extra-marital affair. The woman also alleged that the Chief Justice had subsequently used his high office to frustrate her attempts to file a child support case in Kenyan Courts.<sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Speaking through his lawyers, the Chief Justice denied any knowledge of the woman while dismissing her claims as the latest in a well choreographed state-sponsored plot to undermine his office and malign his name. Maraga's lawyers highlighted several gaps in the woman's claims, including inconsistencies in the Birth Certificate she produced to support the child's parentage. The Children's Court in Nairobi dismissed the case three weeks later when it emerged that the woman had not paid the mandatory court filing fees.<sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Retirement_and_legacy">Retirement and legacy</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=David_Maraga&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: Retirement and legacy"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Justice Maraga retired on 12 January 2021 when he turned 70 in accordance with Article 167(1) and 167(2) of the Constitution of Kenya which provides that an individual shall retire from the Office of the Chief Justice after serving for 10 years or on reaching the age of 70, whichever comes first. He handed the leadership of the judiciary to Lady Justice <a href="/wiki/Philomena_Mwilu" title="Philomena Mwilu">Philomena Mwilu</a>, deputy chief justice and vice president of the Supreme Court, who would serve as the Acting Chief Justice and president of the Supreme Court until a substantive chief justice is appointed.<sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In his valedictory message during his retirement ceremony, Justice Maraga indicated that he was proud to be leaving behind "a strong Judiciary, a professional and enthusiastic corps of Judges and Judicial Officers as well as staff who [were] deeply committed to the administration of justice, and an increasingly enlightened public whose confidence in and demand for [the Judiciary's] services grows by the day."<sup id="cite_ref-35" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Many Kenyans admire Justice Maraga's uncompromising fidelity to his faith. He also earned the praise of many Kenyans for his bravery and integrity, especially following the nullification of the 2017 presidential election results, his advisory calling on the President to dissolve Kenya's Parliament and his many public statements condemning the presidency over budgetary cuts and the failure to appoint the JSC's judicial nominees. </p><p>However, judiciary insiders have mixed views of his tenure. His reform record pales in comparison to his predecessor Willy Mutunga who achieved far reaching results with the Judiciary Transformation Framework. Maraga's legacy as an administrator was particularly tainted by the widespread perception that he preferred members of his Kisii ethnic group in appointments within the judiciary in general and his office in particular. </p><p>By the time he left office, the judiciary's relations with Parliament and the executive branch were at an all-time low. The judiciary suffered from constant budgetary cuts and the refusal of the President to appoint 41 judicial nominees despite several orders from the High Court. These challenges can be blamed in part on the August 2017 decision of the Supreme Court to nullify President Kenyatta's win, following which the President threatened to pursue unspecified retaliatory measures against the judiciary. As a show of this poor relationship, no senior officials from Parliament or the Executive attended his retirement and hand over ceremony. The leadership of the judiciary's close partners such as the attorney general, the police and the director of public prosecutions also snubbed the event. </p><p>Legal scholars are equally divided over his jurisprudential legacy. Kenyan judges of appeal (who sit in benches of 3) and the Supreme Court (who sit in benches of 5 or 7) do not publish information on which justice wrote a majority opinion. Unless an individual justice pens a dissenting opinion or a separate but concurring opinion, there is no way for outsiders to know which judge wrote a decision. Consequently, Maraga's judicial philosophy from his time in the Court of Appeal and in the Supreme Court is difficult to discern. Nonetheless, Justice Maraga is most remembered for his work as the chairperson of the Judiciary Committee on Elections and his electoral law jurisprudence which culminated in the nullification of the August 2017 presidential election results. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Personal_life">Personal life</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=David_Maraga&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Personal life"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>David Maraga is married to Yucabeth Nyaboke, with whom they have three children; Dr. Edith K.
