The Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ) has summoned Chief Justice (CJ) Martha Koome and nine other members of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).

In a letter signed by CAJ chair Charles Dulo, Koome, among other JSC members, are expected to appear on March 24 and March 25 to answer allegations of ignorance and neglect of the constitution.

Dulo said the 10 will be expected to explain why they have failed to publish complaints they have received and handled against Judicial Officers, judges and other staff. "Since 2019 to date, CAJ received 700 complaints of maladministration against the Judiciary, some of which have remained unresolved to date," stated Dulo.

Other summoned JSC members are Isaac Ruto, Dorcas Odiwuor, Judges Mohammed Ibrahim, Fatuma Sichale and Anthony Mrima, Everlyne Olwande, Omwanza Ombati, Caroline Nzilani and Jacqueline Ingutiah. "The commission has invoked its powers under 252 of the Constitution and CAJ's regulation to issue summonses to JSC members," wrote Dulo.
