Thursday, October 23, 2025 - The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has released a shortlist of 35 candidates vying for 15 vacancies in the Court of Appeal.
Prominent lawyer Katwa Kigen - who previously represented
President William Ruto at the International Criminal Court (ICC) is among those
shortlisted.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, October 22nd,
the JSC confirmed it had received 94 applications for the appellate court
positions.
The shortlisted candidates were chosen based on the
completeness and compliance of their submissions with the advertised
requirements.
Other notable names include Justice Chacha Mwita, IPOA
Chairperson Ahmed Issack Hassan, Justice Joseph Kiplagat Sergon, Lady Justice
Hedwig Imbosa Ong’udi and Justice Mathews Nduma Nderi.
The commission stated that interview dates will be announced

any of the candidates, assuring confidentiality.
This recruitment follows a June 2025 gazette notice by Chief
Justice Martha Koome declaring 150 judicial vacancies across various courts,
including the High Court, Environment and Land Court, and Magistrate positions.
The move is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen Kenya’s judiciary and improve access to justice nationwide.
