NAIROBI, Kenya Oct 2 – The High Court has quashed notices issued by the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) requiring seven Supreme Court judges to respond to complaints seeking their removal, finding that the commission failed to conduct the required preliminary assessment before setting the removal process in motion.
A three-judge bench comprising Justices Charles Kariuki, Lawrence Mugambi and Bahati Mwamuye declared the JSC’s communications, notices and directions arising from the complaints unconstitutional, null and void.
The court also barred the commission from taking further steps on the complaints or commencing or continuing proceedings based on the same set of facts.
