Judicial Service Commission (JSC) special committee formed to probe bribery allegation against Justice Philip Tunoi will table a report on Friday.

The Special Committee has made substantial progress in considering the petition before it to establish if there are any merits on the allegations of bribery against Justice Philip Tunoi contained in the affidavit of Mr. Geoffrey Kiplagat.

The committee was given a deadline of 3rd February, 2016 to submit the final report of its findings to the Commission.  It has however not been able to complete the report and has sought and obtained extension of time from the Judicial Service Commission to complete its work by Friday 5th February, 2016.

“We wish to also state that the complainant and the judge appeared before us, among seven (7) other persons of interest to the Committee and we are considering the information and documents submitted before making the final report.”
