What you need to know:

The CJ once stood before cameras with a Bible, swearing he had never taken a bribe.
In 1985 as a 34-year-old, Mr Maraga was appointed a judge of the Nakuru Agricultural Society of Kenya fair, a position he held until 1990.
During the same interview, Mr said being a Seventh Day Adventist, he cannot work on a Sabbath.

Globally, Chief Justice David Maraga is regarded a brave judge for making decisions that have rattled the other two arms of government.

At home, some consider him a rabble-rouser and a man of many firsts for his rulings that have dismayed politicians.
