The High Court has stopped the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) from acting on President Uhuru Kenyatta’s report on the six judicial officers he failed to appoint.

Justice James Makau also temporarily stopped the investigation, prosecution or consideration of any petition to remove the six pending the determination of a suit filed by lawyer Benard Okello.
