Supreme Court Judge Isaac Lenaola has addressed concerns regarding the integrity of Kenya’s judiciary, affirming his commitment to due process. Speaking on March 14, 2025, he stated that he has no objection to stepping down if substantial evidence proves his unworthiness. However, he emphasized that any allegations against judges must be based on concrete legal grounds rather than social media campaigns.
Lenaola’s remarks come amid growing public discourse on judicial accountability, with debates on whether online activism should influence decisions concerning the judiciary. His statement underscores the importance of constitutional procedures in handling judicial dismissals, reinforcing the need for due diligence before any drastic actions are taken.
This development follows recent tensions between the judiciary and legal practitioners, including the Supreme Court’s ruling to uphold its decision barring Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi and his firm from appearing before the court. The ruling was based on concerns that Ahmednasir’s public criticisms of the judiciary had compromised professional boundaries.
However, as discussions on judicial integrity and independence continue, Lenaola’s position highlights the judiciary’s stance on maintaining credibility while ensuring that accountability mechanisms remain firmly grounded in law.
