The Judiciary Service Commisson has distanced self from blame on claims that it participated in the swearing in of the 50 CASs appointed by President William Samoe Ruto.
In a press release dated March 25, 2023, Judiciary note that the statement issued by the National Coordinator of the Institute for Social Accountability Mrs Diana Gichengo, pointing out that Judiciary presided over the swearing-in of Chief Administrative Secretaries while the matter was pending in court was fake and “misleading” and meant to discredit Judiciary
“The statement is grossly misleading and deliberately meant to diseredit the Judiciary.” the statement read in part.
Judiciary details that it has no role to swearing in CASs or secretaries and PSs
“The Judiciary has no role in the swearing-in of Chief Administrative Secretaries. Similarly, the Judiciary does not play any role in the swearing-in of Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries.”
Judiciary further quashed claims that it sent a representative from the Court to swear the 50 CASs
As such, no official of the Judiciary was sent to State House to swear-in the 50 Chief
Administrative Secretaries.
“The Judiciary reaffirms its commitment to upholding the rule of law and the Constitution.”
