Judges In Crisis Over Tunoi Bribe Scandal Analysis

The title of the article for the Daily Nation newspaper was, “Judges in Crisis over Tunoi Bribe Scandal.” On the contrary, The Standard's title of the article was, “Justice Tunoi Fights back on Graft Allegations.” Although both articles are written on Wednesday, January 27, 2016 and are giving information on the same topic, the two titles show Tunoi in different lights.

The Standard’s article interviewed Justice Tunoi and Geoffrey Kiplagat for the same reasons, but one more person that The Standard interviewed was Chief Justice Willy Mutunga in order to ensure the public that he was, in fact looking for a new team of judges to replace the former.
