JSC nominates Justice Mohamed Abdulahi Warsame as Judge of the Supreme Court of Kenya
The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has concluded a rigorous and transparent process, nominating Hon. Justice Mohamed Abdulahi Warsame to the Supreme Court of Kenya.

The public interviews placed strong emphasis on integrity, with candidates examined on their ethics, past conduct, independence, and accountability. They were also assessed on legal expertise, fairness, sound judgment, and commitment to the rule of law.

Justice Warsame distinguished himself across these areas, demonstrating the qualities required of a Supreme Court judge and earning the Commission’s confidence for appointment to the country’s highest court.

The 2.1 million people trapped in the war zone that is #Gaza are facing yet another killer on top of bombs and bullets: starvation.

We demand full access to deliver aid.
We demand the release of all hostages.
We demand a ceasefire.
We demand a political solution.

Peace is the best medicine.

Court has ruled that state corporations can be garnished. Courts can now direct that money held by third parties (usually banks) be seized to satisfy a debt owed by a state corporation.
This means that if a state corporation, such as a pension fund or the National Bank of Kenya, owes you money, and you know the bank where they hold their accounts, you can initiate garnishee proceedings against them. This legal process and order would allow the bank to transfer the owed funds directly to you from the corporation's account, ensuring you receive payment.

This marks a significant shift, allowing creditors to recover debts owed by these entities, which were previously shielded by government immunity. The decision, which aligns with principles of accountability and financial responsibility, means that state-owned firms can now face the same legal consequences as private businesses for failing to meet financial obligations. This could influence how state corporations manage their liabilities and debts moving forward.
