The High Court in Nairobi has granted a reprieve to Justice Dorah Chepkwony by issuing a conservatory order halting the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) proceedings seeking her removal.
In a ruling delivered by Justice Bahati Mwamuye at the Milimani High Court, the JSC suffered another setback, as this marks the second time in less than a month that a court has stopped it from proceeding with a judicial ouster case. "Pending the inter partes hearing and determination of the Notice of Motion Application dated 4 March 2025, a conservatory order is hereby issued staying the proceedings in JSC Petition No. 29 of 2023, Acorn Law Advocates LLP v.
Hon.
Lady Justice Dorah Chepkwony," read part of Justice Mwamuye's ruling.
