Summary
The court had heard that judges who were hired from private practice were paid a starting basic salary of Sh532,500 per month and a non-practising allowance of Sh13,500 while those promoted from magistrates started with a pay of Sh632,000 and a non-practising allowance of Sh13,500.
Justice Odunga noted that judges recruited from within or outside the Judiciary perform similar tasks and by failing to harmonise their remuneration, the SRC had abdicated its constitutional and statutory mandate.
The High Court has ordered the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) to increase salaries of judges appointed from outside the Judiciary by at least Sh100,000 in compliance with a decision made in December last year.
