Senior Counsel Philip Murgor possesses a captivating blend of mild demeanor and sharp intellect, coupled with an indomitable spirit and an almost enigmatic gaze. Yet, perhaps his most remarkable trait is his ability to adapt seamlessly to various circumstances, regardless of the season.
As he celebrates his 60th birthday this year, Murgor reflects on his life's trajectory, expressing satisfaction with the steady ascent of his career and social life. Meeting him shortly after Chief Justice David Maraga's departure, it's inevitable to discuss Maraga's legacy and his successor. Murgor acknowledges Maraga's sincerity and rates his performance at 65 out of 100, though he highlights Maraga's challenge in reconciling the strained relationship between the Judiciary and the Executive, primarily concerning budgetary disputes and judicial appointments.
