Kenya judge Nancy Baraza should be sacked - tribunal

Kenya's deputy chief justice should be sacked after she was accused of threatening to shoot a security guard, a tribunal has recommended.
Nancy Baraza allegedly pulled her pistol and pinched the nose of a female guard after refusing to be frisked when she entered an upmarket shopping centre on New Year's Eve.
The tribunal agreed with the guard's account of events.
Ms Baraza was suspended while the investigation was carried out.
"A judge who engages in lawless conduct and thereafter tries to explain it away with misleading testimony should not continue in office," said the tribunal, according to the Reuters news agency.
