What happened

Well supportedReported by 5 independent outlets

The Judiciary relies on the Judicial Service Commission for complaint handling. The Law Society of Kenya has initiated a targeted boycott of selected courts, which affects about fifteen judicial officers, including six Supreme Court judges, until the JSC addresses key accountability reforms. Meanwhile, the Judiciary's proposed budget for the 2027/28 financial year has a funding gap of about Sh20.4 billion against the indicative ceiling set by the Treasury.
