After President Uhuru Kenyatta’s massive changes of administration in alligning his big four agenda, Maraga’s judiciary has also witnessed shuffling.
Chief Justice David Maraga has transferred five High Court judges in a reshuffle announced on Monday.
Among those moved includes Constitutional and Human Rights judge Chacha Mwita and Justice Weldon Korir of Malindi High Court.
Mwita has been moved to Kajiado as the presiding judge while Korir joins the Constitutional and Human Rights Division.
Others transferred are Lady Justice Wilfrida Okwany and Justices James Aaaron Makau, Wildon Korir and Reuben Nyakundi.
Mwita has been transferred to Kajiado as the presiding judge while Okwany has been moved to the Commercial and Tax Division swapping places with Makau. Korir, who was in Malindi, also joins the Constitutional and Human Rights Division as presiding judge while Nyakundi, who was the presiding judge in Kajiado moves to Malindi.
The changes come at a time the Judiciary is under pressure for allegedly slowing down the war against corruption by giving suspects lenient bail terms.
In a brief statement by Maraga, the transfers take effect from March 1.
