Lumumba criticises bid to extend Supreme Court judges contracts (Youtube-Clip)

“Kenya School of Law Director, Prof PLO Lumumba has criticized a bid by a section of Supreme Court judges to seek extension of their term to 74 years. He said the constitution was clear that a judge shall serve up to the age of 70 and urged those who had attained that age to retire honorably” (Daily Nation, 2016).

Some more documents into the Judge Willy Mutunga v. Hon. Lucy Njora ++

Here you see more on the imposed scandal that are happening in the Supreme Court and the challenge of hiring a new judge, how they appropriately address the matter between themselves. This here is more on the matter, as things goes and goes! After the E-Mails, planned time in court and also a Petition to Court as well; this here will not stop until hopeful justice have prevailed!

Colleagues:

The CA (Court of Appeal) has decided.

I am told there are applications and appeals already filed.

I have instructed Hon Lucy Njora (Supreme Court Deputy Registrar) to place the applications before me for directions.

I will deal with the applications as a single judge.

CJ,

I saw your email very late. It would have been better if you had called on phone directly if you had directions for me. I assure you I have followed the provisions of our rules and Act strictly.

As duty Judge for today I already heard 2 certificate of urgency applications by Justices Rawal and Tunoi. I have already disposed of them, given interim orders and given dates for interparties hearing. I think that is in order.

Sincerely,

Njoki

I counseled against copying the applicants in any mail coming from us!

I thought, given the history of this matter, you would have considered that those of us who are around could be involved in some brief conferencing. Even as a duty judge, isn’t there a standing guideline that after the files are given to judges is either the CJ or the DCJ who does the allocation?

I am surprised you suggest I should have called you? Did you think of calling me?!

Subject: Re: The Decision of the CA

With utmost respect CJ, I do not understand your angry tone – which I find inappropriate – to me in this email, for the following reasons:

1. I did not know you were in the country to begin with as your earlier email communication to us indicated you would be out of the country from the 22nd may. (How would I know to call you when you are out of the country? You never pick my calls anyway.)
2. You did not copy any email to ME asking not to copy our colleagues.
3. The first email from you to me arrived in my inbox at 2.31 pm when I had already started listening to the matters, and I was not online at that time. I only saw your email AFTER I had disposed of the applications.
4. Justice Ojwang who was the only other Judge not affected by the matter who was in chambers at the time and we consulted and agreed I should proceed hear the matters.
5. The matters were exparte and took a short time. I communicated to you immediately I saw your email and got your message from The DR.
6. I am not aware that there is anything wrong or untoward with the manner I handled the matters.
7. Did you have a specific outcome in mind? It appears to me, that once again you are having issues with the decisional independence of Judges in your court, particularly myself. This is a subject that has been discussed before. How do you suggest we handle this?

Njoki.SCJ.

Also this one which is fake and which is real:

The one up top or the one in the bottum, which is real? Aye?

Enough for now., right? We shouldn’t need to ask what is the real age of Judge, they should be honest men walking around us. The ones that we trust as their judgement should be as they are the epitome of law abiding citizenship. Instead here we have seen of dozen documents and proof that there is a state of unlawfulness in the Supreme Court of Kenya, and it is not a good look!  Peace.
