The High Court has ruled that President Uhuru Kenyatta violated the Constitution by failing to appoint 41 new judges. High Court Justices James Makau, Lydia Achode and Chacha Mwita said the Head of State had no option of either reviewing, rejecting or reconsidering the list of nominees submitted to him by the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) in July and August last year.
Consequently, they ordered the president to appoint the judges within 14 days.
