A judgment by the Employment and Labour Relations Court is likely to intensify the push to remove Supreme Court judges from office.
Justices Stephen Radido, Christine Baari, and Dr.
Jacob Gakeri ordered the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) to re-examine a preliminary objection raised by Justice Hellen Wasilwa regarding its powers to entertain complaints about judges based solely on the merits of their judgments.
The three judges stated that it is now an agreed-upon principle that the commission cannot assess a judge's competence by only analysing their decisions.
