Constitutional Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has called for the immediate halt of interviews for six Court of Appeal judges.
He claims the process was illegal and wants the Judicial Service Commission to terminate the process.
The senior counsel said that the process being carried by the commission is illegal adding that it was compromised from the word go.
“As the immediate former Chairman of the Senior Council Committee of the Law Society of Kenya I call upon the Judicial Service Commission to stop forthwith the fake, sham and illegitimate interviews the Commission is conducting for the 6 positions of the Court of Appeal,” stated Ahmednasir.
He claimed that majority of the commissioners are captives of the executive, hinting that the six candidates that will be appointed have already been agreed upon, by people outside the commission.
“Process doesn’t meet the mandatory test of Article 10 of the Constitution and is compromised abinitio,” he added.
The interviews began last month where 30 candidates had been shortlisted for the Court of Appeal judges posts.
