Judges who were appointed from private practice are still earning salaries that are lower than their counterparts who were promoted from within the Judiciary. Judicial Service Commission (JSC) and Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), have disobeyed court orders requiring them to march the salaries of judges.
On December 18 last year, Justice George Odunga ordered the commission to harmonise salaries of all the affected judges and backdate the same to the date each was appointed.
