The High Court has blocked the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) from requiring Supreme Court judges to respond to petitions filed to remove them from office.
Justice Charles Kariuki on Wednesday directed the commission to withdraw its directive asking Chief Justice Martha Koome, her deputy Philomena Mwilu, and justices Mohamed Ibrahim, Smokin Wanjala, Njoki Ndung'u and Isaac Lenaola, and William Ouko to respond to three petitions or any other.
