"I want to take a break. I have not taken leave since I became chief justice because of work pressures. I want to take proper time and rest, after that I want to write my memoirs and take life easy," Maraga stated.
In the candid interview, in which he addressed his tenure as CJ, Maraga said that he did his best to serve the people of Kenya.
"My tenure at the helm of Judiciary was interesting. It was a good tenure. I did my best to serve the people of Kenya. Most of my complaints were on the funding of Judiciary which is needed to run it properly," Maraga notes.
