President Uhuru Kenyatta has appointed 14 new High Court judges following a recommendation by the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).
The 14 new appointees have bared a year long wait to know their fate after their names were forwarded in January 2014 for approval by the President and have since been pending.
The judges are Riechi Stephen Nyangau, Sawe Olga Akech, Winfrida Adhiambo Okwany, Otieno Patrick Okwara, Anthony Kimani Ndung’u, Mugure Thande, Margaret Njoki Mwangi.
Others are Githinji Stephen Murugu, Dorah O. Chepkwony, Ongeri Asenath Nyaboke, Kiarie Waweru Kiarie, Njuguna Lucy Mwihaki, Mativo Muting’a John and Nyakundi Reuben Nyambati.
JSC recommended a list of 25 judges to President Kenyatta in January 2014, 11 of whom were appointed in June.
