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.

Often times, it is not easy to let go of a globally-recognised brand that is a source of riches for franchise holders.
That people can easily kill for a brand is a lesson well known to Polycarp Igathe, currently the group chief commercial officer at Equity Bank.
In his previous posting as managing director of Vivo Energy, the company that distributes and markets Shell-branded fuels and lubricants in Kenya, Mr Igathe had a brush with death.

Summary
The firm, Lantech (Africa) Limited, had been awarded $18.2 million (Sh2 billion in current forex exchange rate) by the arbitrator, Kyalo Mbobu.
The dispute between the two parties started after the ICT firm finished its two-year contract for provision of maintenance services, but GDC failed to settle the amounts due.
