CJ Koome speaking to the press on Thursay18th stated that She had seen the recordings that had been shared on social media and the reports that had been published by a group of journalists, and she was ready to act.
The CJ also added that she will have a Judicial Service Commission {JSC} talks where they will discuss the matter before giving the final action on it.
However, Koome`s statement comes barely hours after Justice Chitembwe had distanced himself from the leaked corruption video allegations stating that the video was manipulated and edited to soil his reputations.
"The video was edited to frame me." He said while on a TV interview on Wednesday 17th November.

On Tuesday, November 16, former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko released a video recording of a meeting between the Judge's brother soliciting and receiving a bribe on behalf of the Judge. The video became the topic of discussion across social media platforms and eventually in the mainstream media.
The high court judge has, however, made it clear that all the allegations labeled against him were doctored and tailored to suit a notion that he is not fit to hold office.
“I have no problem. Let the videos go round because they are edited to fit a particular narrative. Some parts have been left. I knew about the existence of the videos in July and it was just a matter of when they would be out,” he stated.
The Judge denied links with the person who was identified in the leaked videos as his brother. Chitembwe noted that they only come from the same rural home.

“That man is not my brother, not my uncle and our parents are not related. However, I have known him for over 10 years because we both come from Kwale.” He said.
