The Executive has six months to transition all tribunals to the Judiciary.
This is after the Court of Appeal affirmed the High Court's orders that tribunals under ministries should be placed under the Judiciary, and the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) appointments should be made.
Justices Francis Tuiyott, Agrrey Muchelule, and George Odunga unanimously agreed that High Court Judge Charo Mrima was right to find that it is illegal for the Executive to usurp the Judiciary's powers of dispute resolution. "We have on our own re-evaluated the evidence placed before the trial court and the submissions made, and we find no reason to fault the learned Judge's decision, which was sound, both in law and in fact.
Consequently, we find no merit in this appeal which we dismiss but with no order as to costs," the bench headed by Justice Tuiyott ruled.
