JSC must hire the right person to be Kenya’s Chief Justice

NAIROBI: Barring injunctive orders in the ongoing suits, the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) will later next month enter into phase three of the all-important process of filling vacancies in the Supreme Court, by interviewing the applicants shortlisted for the three available positions. It is unfortunate that due to ineptitude and high octave shenanigans we ended up in the situation where we do not have a Chief Justice and Deputy Chief Justice and cannot even form quorum in this apex court.

The sooner this malady is cured, the better for this nation. With an election fast approaching you can imagine the nightmare we would go through if the process dragged on and there was no court to hear the inevitable Presidential petitions in 2017.
