By JOSEPH WANGUI More by this AuthorThe Court of Appeal has dismissed a petition challenging the appointment of Prof Olive Mugenda, Felix Koskei and Patrick Gichohi to the Judicial Service Commission (JSC). Prof Mugenda and Mr Koskei were nominated by President Uhuru Kenyatta while Mr Gichohi was nominated by the Public Service Commission (PSC). They were approved by the National Assembly on February 28, 2018 and subsequently appointed as commissioners to the JSC. The group added that the appointment contravened articles 10, 232 and 234 (2) (c) which champion the values and principles of public service. Article 171 (2) H says in constituting the JSC two people (one man and one woman) should represent the public.
