The High Court has temporarily stopped any investigation or prosecution of the six rejected judges adversely mentioned in a report forwarded to President Uhuru Kenyatta. The six judges include Aggrey Muchelule, George Odunga, Weldon Korir and Joel Ngugi, who were to serve in the Appellate court. Chief magistrate Evans Makori and High Court registrar Judith Omange were also omitted from the list of judges gazetted. The JSC was also barred from convening, recommending in a meeting any form of action against the rejected judges adversely mentioned in the report. The orders were issued after petitioner Benard Okello told the Judge that the President has discriminated against the six judges.
