Nelson Havi appeals to JSC staff in a fresh affidavit against CJ Koome
Former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Nelson Havi has renewed his war against Chief Justice (CJ) Martha Koome
Former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Nelson Havi has renewed his war against Chief Justice (CJ) Martha Koome.
In a statement on Sunday, Havi announced that he was working on a fresh affidavit against CJ Koome and urged insiders to come forward with information pertinent to the corruption in the Judiciary.
This time, he called for evidence depicting favouritism and nepotism in the hiring process of staff in the Chief Justice’s office.
“We are compiling a Further Affidavit on Martha Koome and require Judiciary insiders to anonymously volunteer evidence of nepotism and favoritism in the recruitment of staff in her office and mismanagement of Judiciary funds. It is for your benefit that we get this crucial evidence,” the statement read.
This development comes just days after he filed a petition calling for the removal of all seven Supreme Court Judges for gross misconduct.
Havi, alongside other senior lawyers like Ahmednassir Abdulahi, have been fighting what they deem a deep-rooted rot in the judiciary stemming from corruption for months.
In his last affidavit to the Judiciary Service Commission (JSC), Havi highlighted several rulings undermining all seven justices and their capability to operate in the top court.

However, before revising his petition to include all seven, he had implored them to back him in his call for the resignation of CJ Koome, a task they did not undertake.
On Thursday, January 16, JSC acknowledged receipt of Havi’s petition adding to hundreds of complaints filed against judges in the last four years.
“The JSC acknowledges receipt of a petition dated January 10 filed by Nelson Havi against the following Judges of the Supreme Court of Kenya,” read the statement in part.
“Out of the 935 petitions/complaints received 862 have been finalized and 12 petitions were forwarded to the President recommending for the formation of a Tribunal for removal.”
Since the year kicked off less than three weeks ago, JSC revealed that it had received five petitions and complaints of various natures against judges.
