President William Ruto has nominated former Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto and Caroline Nzilani Ajuoga to the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).
The announcement was made by National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula during a session at the Parliament Buildings.
Ruto and Nzilani were nominated to represent the public as members of the Commission led by Chief Justice Martha Koome.
“Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Orders 42, I wish to convey a message from President William Ruto, in which he has nominated persons to the Judicial Service Commission,” National Speaker Moses Wetangula stated.
“In the message, the President conveyed that in exercise of the powers conferred on him by Article 128 of the Constitution and Sections 3 & 5 of the Public Appointment Act, 2011, he presented the list of nominees,” Wetangula stated.
Before their appointments are ratified, their names will be forwarded to the Justice and Legal Affairs (JLAC) Committee for formal vetting.
The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) is made up of eleven members, including the Chief Justice, who serves as chairperson, the Attorney General, a representative from the Law Society of Kenya, and other members appointed by the President with Parliament’s approval.
