The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) on Thursday confirmed it had received lawyer Nelson Havi's petition to remove the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Martha Koome, together with the Supreme Court bench.

In a statement to the press, the Commission noted that the petition lodged by Havi was received on January 13.

It cited allegations of gross misconduct and misbehavior against the seven judges. "The JSC acknowledges receipt of a petition dated January 10 filed by Nelson Havi against the following Judges of the Supreme Court of Kenya," read the statement in part.

JSC also disclosed that it had received 935 petitions against judges between 2011 and 2024.
