How Mike Sonko’s Petition led to the downfall of Justice Juma Saidi Chitembwe

A tribunal has recommended the removal of High Court Judge Justice Said Juma Chitembwe who was under investigation.

Findings of the tribunal were presented to President William Ruto on Tuesday afternoon.

A tribunal to investigate the judge was set up by former president Uhuru Kenyatta on the recommendation of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).

It followed petitions filed against the judge, including by former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko.

One of the petitions was filed by a Mr Francis Wambua who accused the judge of gross judicial misconduct, including discussing the merits of a matter pending in court, with third parties.
