Court of Appeal president William Ouko has been picked by the JSC to replace retired judge, Jackton Boma Ojwang, at the Supreme Court.
Ouko, 58, has been the appellate court boss since March 2018.
The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) said in a press conference on Wednesday, May 5 that Ouko was the best candidate of the seven applicants who sought the Supreme Court Judge position.
“We congratulate Justice Willaim Ouko, and we wish him well. To the other [Supreme Court Judge] candidates, the Commission has had the privilege to know you better and appreciate your hard work in the capacities in which you are serving the nation,” JSC Chairperson, Prof. Olive Mugenda, said in her Wednesday address to journalists at the Supreme Court of Kenya.

Kenyans do not have an accent. We say certain things which have been influenced by our culture and the rotating door of accents we were subjected to by primary school teachers. We say things like “I am almost” and “Let me tell you, Maina”, and the only people who can really understand us are other Kenyans.
In fact, the closest thing we have to an accent is the dialect our champions give interviews in after conquering the world of athletics.
Kenyans, however, have a unique ability to absorb and immediately adopt foreign accents. Seeing as we do not have one of our own, it was only fitting that we shopped for one.
