[File, Standard]Prior to the 2010 Constitution, the Judiciary was one of the institutions dogged by controversy, lack of public trust, corruption and lack of independence. Former Law Society of Kenya Chief Executive Officer Apollo Mboya stated that creation of the Supreme Court and the JSC were among the best gifts the 2010 Constitution gave the Judiciary. Mutua added that despite the limited resources and frustration created by disobeying court orders, the Judiciary has done well under the 2010 Constitution. Despite the silver lining brought by the 2010 Constitution, there is a general feeling that the supreme law has failed the Judiciary in some aspects. Another concern is the Supreme Court being the only and final arbiter in some cases like the presidential election petition.
