The Judicial Service Commission has the ability to handle the petition seeking removal of four Supreme Court judges: Mohamed K. Ibrahim, Jackton B. Ojwang, Smokin C. Wanjala and Njoki S. Ndung’u over the claims of impropriety in handling the Wajir Governor petition challenge. It is fully constituted as the last member, Justice Mohammed Warsame, took his position at the JSC too. This may be initiated by the Judicial Service Commission on its own volition or arising from a petition from any person in writing setting out alleged details to constitute the grounds for judges' removal. Once the responses are received, then the Judicial Service Commission will consider both perspectives. Upon receipt of the petition and recommendation from the Judicial Service Commission, the President within 14 days suspends the judge from office and appoints a tribunal.
