The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has taken a swipe at Nation Media Group (NMG) over a controversial article published on Monday, November 25, titled, “Why 10 Judges face ouster over Ksh. According to the Commission, the petition referenced another suit filed in court 32 years ago, in 1992. The petition filed before the court last month implicates ten judges involved in the hearing and determination of a Ksh30 billion land case between a state-owned organisation and a Kenyan family. In its view, JSC termed the article a "sensationalised and one-sided story that was based solely on the petitioner's claims," thus unfairly exposing the judges in question to reputational damage. JSC further noted that the article speculates on potential outcomes, including the implications of the removal of the said judges, yet the matter is yet to be heard or determined by the Commission.
