Why JSC is opposed to BBI proposal on Judiciary ombudsman
Chief Justice David Maraga addresses the press on the BBI proposal, flanked by members of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), outside the Supreme Court on December 11, 2020.
The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has opposed the appointment of the Judiciary ombudsman by the President and urged the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) Secretariat to instead allow it to select the office holder.
Chief Justice David Maraga noted on Friday that there are alternatives, such as the JSC’s Office of the Ombudsman and the Commission on Administration of Justice, through which the public can voice complaints.
