Holding

Facts
The Claimant, Erastus Safari Kenga, sought a ruling to be heard by another judge due to a similar matter between the same parties and lawyers being heard by Makau O. N. J.
Issues
- Whether Makau O. N. J. should be recused from hearing the case due to a perception of bias
- Whether the recusal would affect the administration of justice
Reasoning
The judge's recusal request was based on unsubstantiated perceptions of bias, and there was no evidence of any relationship or financial interest that could lead to bias. The judge was handling other cases involving the same parties, but this does not necessarily mean a lack of impartiality.
