Top 10 Funny Quotes By Justice Marete D.K Njagi

On Thursday, one Justice Marete D.K Njagi was facing the Judicial Service Commission seeking to be the Chief Justice of the Republic of Kenya to succeed Justice David Maraga who retired earlier this year.

Justice Marete has become a topic of discussion and memes among Kenyans on how he answered questions from the commissioners. His answers were full of humor and at one point he seemed as though he did not care about the outcome.

In one incident, Justice Marete was found to have a card indicating that he is a person living with a disability and the disability indicated on the card was “mental.” He had a hard time convincing the commissioners that he was not mentally ill.

Here are some of his 10 funny answers:
