The High Court has extended interim orders barring the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) from hearing or considering petitions filed by former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Nelson Havi and 15 others seeking the removal of Chief Justice Martha Koome and six other Supreme Court judges.
The conservatory orders will remain in effect until July 4, 2025.
A three-judge bench comprising Justices Charles Kariuki, Lawrence Mugambi, and Bahati Mwamuye also granted Chief Justice Koome and four other Supreme Court judges until May 21, 2025, to amend their petitions challenging the move to remove them from office.
This followed a request by their legal team, led by advocate Julius Kemboi, who sought more time to incorporate new information before the hearings begin.
