Unexpected first major task for Winfridah Mokaya, Chief Registrar of the Judiciary
Chief Registrar of the Judiciary of Kenya, Winfridah Boyani Mokaya, administers the oath of office to Deputy President Kithure Kindiki during his swearing-in at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre on November 1, 2024.
At one point, Ms Mokaya was compelled to pause as the delighted citizens erupted in applause, celebrating the new Deputy President as he religiously repeated the oath read by her.
She first administered the oath of allegiance to the Republic of Kenya before concluding with the oath of execution of office for the Deputy President.
When Chief Registrar of the Judiciary Winfridah Mokaya assumed office in March this year, she could not have anticipated that her first high-profile assignment would be to swear in a new Deputy President.
Yet, as fate would have it, just seven months into her tenure, on Friday, November 1, Ms Mokaya administered the oath of office to Kenya's second in command, Prof Kithure Kindiki, at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC)
