ODM leader Raila Odinga and Governor Ali Joho are among leaders who have reacted to the death of Retired Chief Justice Evans Gicheru.
In his official Twitter page, Mr Odinga struck a conciliatory tone when remembering the man who once swore in his ex-political rival, former President Mwai Kibaki, at a dusk ceremony in December 2007 following a bitterly disputed General Election.
"I remember Rtd Chief Justice Evan Gicheru as a great legal mind and the man on whose shoulders we placed the burden of returning the country to the Rule of Law after the 2002 transition. He did his best under difficult circumstances, my thoughts and prayers are with his family," the former Prime Minister said.
Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho eulogised Mr Gicheru as a prominent son of Kenya who the cruel hand of death has yet again claimed.
“On behalf of the people of Mombasa I extend our profound condolences & sympathies to the judicial fraternity and the family of the retired Chief Justice Evans Gicheru,” said Joho.
