"Yes, the Chief Justice met Governor Mr Kinyanjui. It was just a normal courtesy call. When the CJ normally visits the counties, he pays courtesy calls to the respective governors.
"He would always visit the county bosses to seek collaboration for instance by seeking land to be used in construction of the lower courts in the various counties," he stated.
He further conveyed that the head of the Judiciary later had an internal meeting with the Governor whereby they discussed personal matters.
Besides visiting the Governor's office, the Chief Justice inspected the construction of the Nakuru Court project.
The CJ also spent part of his day interacting with staff and members of the public on service delivery at Nakuru Law Courts.
