The search for a new Chief Justice has been thrown into uncertainty after the High Court stopped the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) from evaluating the candidates after the interviews end tomorrow.
High Court Judges Anthony Mrima, Reuben Nyakundi and Wilfrida Okwany allowed the JSC to continue with the interviews but ordered that the commissioners should not make any further considerations to evaluate the most suitable person out of the 10 applicants for CJ’s position.
The judges also stopped the Commission from conducting interviews for a Supreme Court Judge to replace retired Justice Jackton Ojwang pending determination of three petitions challenging the processes.
