Justice Lydia Achode also faced the Commission panel where she stated that she is best suited for the job due to her credentials.

She pointed out that her record especially in the High Court speaks for itself as she was able to dispense of many criminal cases and dismantling judicial cartels.

Some of the cartels included some clients, Law Society of Kenya officials among others.

I come on two fronts. The legal and administrative…my legal side is that my judgments are always on time. I do not give judgment on notice expect where I am called to serve on other duties,” she said while adding that “Making justice accessible to the people of Kenya is my aim as the DCJ.”

She indicated that she is a team player who has no problem working with other officials within the Judiciary.
