Lobby renews push to oust judges Martha Koome, Fatuma Sichale


By IBRAHIM ORUKOMore by this AuthorThe Muslim for Human Rights (Muhuri) has renewed its push to have three appellate judges removed from office even though the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) had early in the year dismissed their complaint. Through its director, Mr Khalef Khalifa, the group has rejected the decision by the JSC which dismissed its complaint against Justices Erastus Githinji, Martha Koome and Fatuma Sichale. TRUTHThe lobby argues that the manner in which the commission handled the complaint was bias as there was reluctance on the part of the commission to establish the truth. Mr Khalifa and Mr Abdille argued that IEBC made the appointments without following the laid down procedure, ignoring the need for transparency and accountability in the process. In its complaint, dated April 23, 2018, Muhuri questioned why the three judges heard the matter before informing them as required of such a hearing.
