Charles Nyachae told the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) selection panel he resigned as a judge of the East African Court of Justice due to dysfunction and financial challenges within the East African Community.
Appearing before the panel at the College of Insurance in Nairobi's South C estate on Monday, March 24, Nyachae said he stepped down in January 2024, two years before completing his seven-year term. "I was appointed in February 2018 and served for five and a half years.
However, I felt I was not adding value by remaining in a court that was hardly operating," said Nyachae.
He explained that the court operates on an ad hoc basis, meaning it is not full-time, and that the East African Community has struggled financially to the point of near dysfunction. "I was earning 2,000 dollars every month for doing nothing.
