Chief Justice Martha Koome has proven that apart from being an intellectually capable person, she also has in her an emotional and compassionate being.
This comes after the CJ left the comfort of her home to go and fulfil the wishes of a young schoolgirl who has always wanted to meet her.
Koome shared the emotional moment on her social media account and a photograph she took with the girl named Lucy Njoki.
“Emotional moment as I finally got to fulfil Lucy Njoki’s wish of meeting me,” Koome wrote.
According to the CJ, Njoki was the top performer in Kiambaa and has since joined Loreto High School.

To add the cherry on top of the cake of a wish fulfilled, Koome revealed she also offered to pay the young girl's school fees up to the university level.
“Njoki who was the top performer in Kiambaa has joined Loreto High School Limuru, and I’ve offered to pay her fees up to university level,” Koome said.
CJ has been erroneously quoted by @K24Tv from this clip and other channels are picking from the same

CJ Martha Koome, your love and compassion amazes every person of Goodwill. Your passion for the Rights of Kenyans, especially the poor, less privileged and other needy fits well under your administration. Now, what you can do for kenyans is to nail the corrupt leaders and looters
