The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has announced that it will reopen the application window for various vacancies in the Judiciary, which was initially set to close on October 29, 2021.
The decision comes after the JSC noted that the online application portal faced high traffic and congestion, potentially locking out several potential candidates.
"At the close of the application window on 29th October 2021, the Commission had received more than 60,000 applications for these vacancies," the JSC said.
"Consequently, the Commission has resolved to extend the application window to mitigate against these challenges and to give every Kenyan a fair opportunity to be considered for these positions," the commission added.
The application window will reopen on November 8, 2021, and will close on November 12, 2021, at 5 p.m.
Those who submitted their applications before the original deadline should not re-apply, the JSC emphasized.
The Judiciary has invited applications for various positions, including Senior Public Affairs & Corporate Communications Officer, Senior Law Clerks, Court Assistants, Drivers, and other roles.
