Justice Antony Mrima Elected to Judicial Service Commission

Date:

NAIROBI, Kenya- Justice Antony Mrima has been elected as the latest member of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), representing the Kenya Magistrates and Judges Association (KMJA). 

His election is in line with Article 171 (2)(d) of the Constitution, which allows the KMJA to nominate a representative to the powerful commission that oversees judicial appointments and policy.

Justice Mrima won the election with a commanding lead, securing 95 votes, well ahead of his competitors, Justices Sila Munyao and James Olola, who garnered 27 and 15 votes, respectively. 

The KMJA expressed its congratulations on social media, with the Judiciary announcing via its X account, “The Kenya Magistrates and Judges Association has elected Justice Antony Mrima as the male representative to the Judicial Service Commission.”

This election fills a crucial role following the untimely passing of Justice David Majanja, the previous KMJA representative, who died in July while receiving treatment at Nairobi Hospital. 

Justice Mrima will now step into this role, tasked with helping shape the future of Kenya’s judicial system.

As a member of the JSC, Justice Mrima will be involved in key decisions that affect the judiciary, from judicial appointments to setting policies that impact the court system. 

This is a pivotal role, especially during a time when judicial reforms and the independence of the judiciary are frequently debated in Kenya. 

His election brings a fresh voice to the commission, with expectations that he will continue the legacy of his predecessor, Justice Majanja, while also bringing his own vision and leadership style to the table.

Justice Mrima’s election victory reflects his standing within the judiciary, having previously made headlines for his rulings on constitutional matters.
