Advocate Nelson Havi has publicly criticized several judges in the Kenyan judiciary, alleging misconduct and corruption. He specifically highlighted concerns about Honourable Mr Justice Prof Dr Nixon Sifuna, citing complaints from multiple advocates including three Senior Counsel regarding his behavior and judicial conduct. Havi has called on the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) to investigate and recommend a tribunal for Sifuna's removal. Additionally, Havi has petitioned the JSC to consider complaints against other judges, including Alfred Mabeya, Lepers Naikuni, and Josephine Mongare, accusing them of corruption and incompetence. Havi has also accused corrupt magistrates and judges of abusing bail and bond terms. The High Court Administrator has responded to Havi's request by escalating the matter to the ICT Department and forwarding his letter to Justice Sifuna. Havi warned that if the JSC does not act on these petitions, he will lead advocates in efforts to evict the implicated judges from court. The judiciary has faced calls for greater scrutiny and public feedback rather than dismissing criticism as unwarranted attacks. The controversy includes debates over judicial activism and the need for moderation and self-criticism within the judiciary.
If JSC does not consider and determine petitions against Judges, I will lead Advocates to evict those Judges from Court. This is the current list: Alfred Mabeya; Lepers Naikuni; Josephine Mongare; and Nixon Sifuna. We will continue growing the list of shame in the Judiciary.
This encounter between Peter Wanyama and Nixon Sifuna confirms the lack of emotional intelligence, temperament and judicial wisdom by Nixon Sifuna. It is going to be exceedingly difficult for him to preside over matters. JSC can save him by assigning him lesser duties of going https://t.co/yXPPj7pk1Q
