Justice K is the name. It shall remain so as I have to abide by the 5th amendment rule thus;
"thou shall not incriminate thyself!"
First time I saw him was October last year. We had a High court hearing which required a 3-judge bench. initially the matter was before a single judge. Very articulate, eloquent and reasonable Justice Musinga. Then directions were issued that the matter required a 3-judge bench. so as the law dictates, Willy Mutunga appointed Justice Ogolla and Justice K. unfortunately J. Musinga was appointed to the Court of appeal so our bench had to be reconstituted.
(Ok Enough of the legal stuff! this was not supposed to sound legal in the first place. it's just that being my profession I'm so accustomed to the lifestyle that i too no longer understand myself anymore. So please excuse my "lifestyle"!)
Fast forward March 2013. The matter did not proceed in 2012 and thank God it didn't as I may have not gotten to fall in "crush" with Justice K. I had not even noticed him the 1st time I saw him.
So this time we arrive during court proceedings and I can't help but notice the most relaxed looking judge of the three staring at me as I walk in. Boy doesn't he look cute? Half bedroom eyes, cute eyebrows a bit full cheeked with lips to die for. Neatly shaved hair, lovely facial features, clean well pressed suit, cute tie...etc etc etc.
ok I'm lying. i cant remember the colour of the tie. I was just soooo smitten! and to that, shame on me because I lost my concentration and failed to hear a single word he uttered. I was in my fantasy world. thinking of stuff i'm too shy to share :p
Today we had another full hearing before Justice K. Lucky me! :)) You can rest assured i was in my best suit, shoes, hairstyle, makeup, smile nini nini.. I also made it early enough to occupy the front desk. I wanted him to notice me. it's only fair that way since I too did notice him duh! lol
Our case is mentioned and Mr. Cute, Lovely Handsome Justice K addresses the court on the usual opening formalities before the hearing.
This is the point I almost shouted "who? Not me!" but thank God my lips remained sealed. I think i fainted a little. In my fantasy world maybe. I dunno how. You see i was expecting eloquence and elegance to go hand in hand to grace all that cuteness and complete my Mr. Prince Charming. But how wrong. smdh! My handsome Justice K failed me flat. Dude had that accent from hell. every time he mentioned "Land" it sounded like "Rad", when he read directions all I heard was "direchons"and when he requested for a later meetup with all advocates in his chambers all i heard him say was "shebas!"
to make matters worse or better for that matter, he forwarded our case to the Environment and Land Courts Division as the Commercial and Admiralty Division does not have jurisdiction over it.
What a relief!...eerm..I mean what a disappointment!
