On August 4, 2019, a tribunal chaired by Justice Alnashir Visram delivered a verdict in the conduct of Supreme Court Judge Jackton Ojwang.
After a thorough investigation, the tribunal found that the evidence presented did not meet the threshold to warrant Justice Ojwang's removal from the bench.
Justice Ojwang had been suspended on April 2, 2019, following a recommendation by the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) to President Uhuru Kenyatta to form a tribunal to investigate his conduct.
Two complaints had been filed against the judge, alleging gross misconduct, impropriety, conflict of interest, and breach of judicial code of conduct.
Instead of appearing before the JSC to defend himself, Justice Ojwang opted to send his lawyer, Nani Mungai, to represent him.
