David Maraga has not yet occupied his lavish home in Runda that cost Kenyan tax payers whooping Ksh 310 million. the judiciary says that residence is not in a habitable state and requires repairs before it is occupied .
Justice and Legal Affairs Committee, Chief Registrar of the Judiciary Anne Amadi, was put to task to explain why the posh home is lying idle by the members of the committee chaired by William Cheptumo.
The house was acquired in 2013 as the official residence of the Chief Justice.
The residence is stated to have been bought from former Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama.
Ms Amadi added that the house has also been subject of protracted legal battles, with the last case on the facility having been withdrawn last year.
Neither Chief Justice David Maraga nor his predecessor Willy Mutunga has lived in the residence, with Justice Maraga currently residing in his Karen home.
Upon its purchase, the house was caught up in procurement issues with the Auditor General noting that the Judiciary did not follow the laid out procedures for purchase.
Following the tussles, six judiciary officials including the then registrar Gladys Shollei, were fired over the alleged irregularities.
