The Standard Group Plc is a

Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key

The politics of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) are central to the ongoing problems Deputy Chief Philomena Mwilu is facing. The new Constitution significantly changed the composition of the JSC, increasing membership to 11, including the Chief Justice who has a seat because of his leadership of the Judiciary, while each tier of the courts elects its own representative.
Thus, each of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal elects a representative while the representation of the High Court and the magistracy is tied up so that if one level elects a woman, the other must elect a man.
