First woman Deputy Chief Justice of the Republic of Kenya,Nancy Baraza, 1st occupant of the first supreme court that was brought in by the 2010 constitution but left before her term had expired has responded as to whether she treated fairly in the gun saga where she was accused of brandishing a pistol at a security guard at the village Market.
It was the scandal that totally damaged her career.
Speaking to Tony Gachoka on the Point Blank Show, she stated that she apologised to the young lady who could have easily been her daughter however other forces joined the war and that’s where she says she wasn’t treated fairly.

Do you agree that she was treated unfairly?
She formerly described the incident as “unfortunate” saying she had no intention of high handedness, arrogance or ill will, and that the matter should be viewed in light of genuine security apprehension on her part.
The guard allegedly earned the DCJs wrath when she insisted on searching Baraza’s bag as part of security procedures for all clients entering the mall.
The guard insists that the DCJ who was accompanied by her bodyguard, assaulted her and threatened her with a pistol, but the police said the video from the mall’s security cameras were inclusive on whether or not there was a gun in Baraza’s hand as alleged.
The village market later released a statement that appeared to back Kerubo’s actions, saying everyone irrespective of their status, as well as vehicles entering the premises are subject to such searches as part of its security measure.
