Reports indicate that JSC commissioners who interviewed the nominees that Judiciary now accuses President Uhuru Kenyatta of not appointing have now turned against each other in a blame game that exposes the divisions in the Judiciary’s employer. According to Maraga, the AG never filed an appeal to challenge a High Court ruling requiring Uhuru to appoint the 41 judges within 14 days. The AG, in defense of the President, blames JSC for appointing judges with questionable character. This was followed by a court case filed by lawyer Adrian Kamotho seeking to compel the President to appoint the nominees as judges. Kamotho went back to the court after Uhuru failed to appoint the judges within the 14 days window provided by the court.
